Jaguar C Types?

[Doofus]

So what is there to choose between the various C type replicas/recreations (Proteus, Lynx, Racing Green, Suffolk, CJR, TWR etc)? Most of them claim to be dimensionally perfect; suspension and engine options vary, but which a) the most historically accurate, and b) the one to have (for someone to whom FIA acceptance isn't a consideration)?

So this is defunct?

Lowdrag is the expert on C-Type recreation.

Yeah, I know Hopefully he'll turn up before too long...

Thanks Tony. The self-build option is one worth considering, but I thought that the kit options available were all too far from original, dimensionally. Period authenticity isn't most important, but it has to look right. Getting a self-built one registered in France could also prove troublesome...

Not any more, since the introduction of the "carte grise de collection". It shouldn't really be a problem.

Ah. There's something to look into then...

Looks great, could you send me some details of the build? Would be appreciated.

Me too please, I'd be very interested.

Nice looking job, well done, and thanks! That's a Realm then? All that for 16k seems good. I though the kits would run to 11 or 12...
