Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to digitally present this stunning 1953 Jaguar C-Type Sports Racer Replica, finished in the iconic Jaguar HFB Brooklands Green. Crafted by Proteus with a GRP fiberglass body molded from an original C-Type, this masterpiece captures the spirit of one of the most celebrated racing legends. The fully triangulated space frame chassis, powder-coated for durability, ensures a solid foundation, while the wheels and hubs add an authentic touch to this timeless design.
Under the hood, a rebuilt 3.4L Jaguar S motor, bored to 3.8 liters, roars to life with precision engineering. Paired with a Toyota Supra 5-speed manual transmission, this car delivers a driving experience that is both exhilarating and smooth. The engine features high-performance upgrades, including Weber 40mm carburetors, a high-capacity aluminum radiator, and a locking differential with a 3.31 gear ratio for optimal power delivery. Every component, from the Aston Martin distributor to the polished harmonic balancer, has been thoughtfully selected to honor its racing heritage.
Slide into the tan leather interior, grip the period-correct wood and aluminum steering wheel, and feel the connection to the road as you engage the 3-inch racing seat belts. The fully independent suspension, sourced from Jaguar XJ6 and XJS models, has been rebuilt to provide a balanced and responsive ride. Cross-drilled rotors, power-assisted disc brakes, and dual master cylinders ensure confident stopping power, while radial tires keep you firmly planted on the pavement.
As you cruise through winding roads, the Smiths gauges keep you informed, and the hum of the engine becomes a symphony of performance. This C-Type replica, complete with a tool kit and custom wiring, is a tribute to the golden age of motorsport. Whether you're carving through corners or enjoying a leisurely drive, this car invites you to experience the thrill of Jaguar's racing legacy in every mile.

Our Scottsdale showroom is Gateway Classic Cars’ 16th location and opened in September 2017. We are located in Phoenix, Arizona which is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and our reputation as the ‘Valley of the Sun’ allows for a year-round car season and a perfect environment to preserve vintage automobiles. Scottsdale is known as the home of the famous Barrett Jackson auction that draws thousands of collectors and enthusiasts to the Phoenix area every year. Our large and growing inventory includes plenty of desirable ‘southwest cars’ that have not been exposed to road salt and inclement weather like in many other US locations. We encourage our local car clubs and enthusiasts to come check us out on the last Saturday of every month for our Cars and Coffee event and cruise around our awesome 42,000 square-foot, air conditioned showroom.
