1953 Jaguar C-Type Re-Creation

This Proteus Jaguar C-Type re-creation, originally a 1998 kit, was acquired as a non-running project in 2023 and subsequently made to run with a replacement intake manifold and twin SU HD8 carburetors. It features a fiberglass body in gray gel coat over a tubular space frame, a 3.8-liter inline-six from a Jaguar MKII with an XKE cylinder head, and a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Notable work includes a full-width windscreen, custom instrument panel, relocated battery box, and aluminum cockpit panels, though the car lacks seats and upholstery, and the engine has significant oil leaks.
