Proteus Jaguar C-Type Re-Creation Project

This classic automobile is a meticulously crafted replica of the legendary Jaguar C-Type, meticulously named "Proteus". Manufactured as a modern-day re-creation project, it captures the spirit of its 1953 predecessor with a striking British Racing Green paint job and traditional racing number on the sides. Despite being built in the present day, it retains the classic lines of the original, featuring aluminum bodywork over a tubular steel frame. Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter inline-six Jaguar engine, a nod to the late-1950s evolution of the C-Type, producing around 260 horsepower. It's outfitted with wire wheels and Dunlop racetrack tires, adding to its authentic racing heritage. Notably, this vehicle is not just a static display but has been engineered for full road and track capability, making it a unique blend of nostalgia and performance for the enthusiast driver.
