After years of extensive research and development, Doc’s
Jags has teamed up with finest re-creator of the sensational
C Type Jaguar. These legendary 1950's Sports racing cars have
been cloned before, but they are striving to produce the most
accurate and correct C Type's in the world. Of course the
body is hand fabricated from aluminum and the chassis is tubular
steel as per original, but it is the attention to detail and
the use of only 100% original components that set our recreations
apart from the other replicas on the market.
They have had numerous components cast & fabricated to
exacting C Type specification - complete steering racks, suspension
and steering arms, engine sumps, gearbox covers, exhaust manifolds,
aluminum wheels, radiators, disc brakes, fuel tanks and more!
These cars are amazing in that they provide such an exhilarating
and unique driving experience whilst remaining very civilized,
safe and easy to drive. A standard C Type has as much power
as a 6 cylinder E Type but is 300 kg lighter! With a new car
warranty and at a price that will surprise, our C Type's are
a real alternative to other open sportscars.
