This Jaguar C-type is a replica using original Jaguar XJ12 running gear mounted in a bespoke tubular space frame chassis. The huge power of the XJ12's engine required considerable up-rating of the front brakes prompting the private owner to purchase a bespoke System ST installation.
The car is extensively driven around Europe and the owner is extremely happy and consistently impressed with the power and the feel of the discs.
