Kit Car/Proteus Jaguar C-Type Replica

Legendary Style

The Proteus Jaguar C-Type Replica captures the legendary style and racing pedigree of the original 1950s Jaguar C-Type, one of the most iconic Le Mans-winning sports cars ever built. Designed for enthusiasts and collectors, these kit cars or factory-built recreations feature lightweight bodywork, classic open-top roadster styling, and a variety of Jaguar powertrains—typically inline-six engines—for a thrilling, period-correct driving experience. Whether used for spirited road driving or historic motorsport, the Proteus C-Type Replica embodies the timeless appeal and raw performance of Jaguar’s golden era.
