The Jaguar C-type is a one-of-a-kind competition sports car, dating from Jaguar’s glory years. Only 53 were built and sold, between 1951 and 1953. This particular model was hand-built quite some years ago to exacting standards by Cyril Lynstone, formerly a partner in Emeryson Racing Cars and remains in superb condition. It comes with all the original Jaguar Browns Lane Chassis Blueprints as supplied by the then Managing Director of Jaguar Cars, Browns Lane.

The current owners have raced it for the past three seasons across Europe, competing at the world’s best race circuits, including Silverstone, Donington, Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Spa, Le Mans and Portimao. In 2017 she won the Motor Racing Legends RAC Woodcote Trophy Class Championship, notching up numerous wins and podium finishes. Never damaged but just some delightful racing patina showing race use.

Bearing testament to her accuracy of build a full FIA/HTP passport was issued. This passport runs until 2025 making her eligible to participate in just about any historic motorsport race or occasion.

She has just been fitted with a completely rebuilt Msa-sealed Peter Landa Sigma race engine, plus a rebuilt gearbox, rebuilt differential, new brakes and tyres, making her completely race-ready. Alongside the Browns Lane Chassis drawings she comes accompanied by numerous spares, including a freshly rebuilt Msa-sealed Sigma engine, a spare rebuilt gearbox, an additional rebuilt differential, plus alloy rim wheels on new tyres - along with numerous new brake shoes, an extra dynamo and a spare starter motor along with two retrimmed leather seats. Detachable rollcage.

M.O.T Tested and includes cherished registration number PPW 67 and race ready for this season.
