At Coventry Classics Ltd, we manufacture all alloy bodied Jaguar C Type replicas with the correct steel tubular chassis and torsion bar suspension systems to the original design. We are based in the southern city of Dunedin, New Zealand.

These beautiful reproductions of the fabulous Jaguar C Type sports racer are built to the original design. Each car is constructed using modified Jaguar MK 7 / XK 120 components or parts fabricated from raw materials to the original design which is the way the factory made them back in the 1950's. There are no XJ6 or MK2 components used in the Coventry Classics C Type nor are there any fibre glass body parts or gearboxes from other manufacturers.

The Coventry Classics Jaguar C Type is designed to deliver to the owner the thrill and lasting pleasure of driving a true thoroughbred, one of the most beautiful sports racing cars ever built, the Jaguar C Type, a masterpiece and one of Jaguar's finest creations.

The Coventry Classics Jaguar C Types are completely finished, ready to drive when you receive them. The lower labour rates in New Zealand, the availability of traditional coach building skills and the advantages of doing business in a small city allow us to produce a Jaguar C Type Type replica of unmatched quality, specification and price. 

These Jaguar C Type replicas are seriously fast pieces of machinery and are built professionally to the highest standards by aircraft engineers. They are finished down to the last detail exactly the same as the original Jaguar racers.

The Coventry Classics Jaguar C Type features the correct torsion bar suspension front and rear, the correct body shape in alloy, the proper period 3.4 litre XK engine, a chassis identical to the original except where strengthened for durability, the correct exhaust system and manifolds, alloy seats, and an identical interior. These cars are built the way the factory intended them to be built. They are a celebration of the brilliance of the original design and drive and handle just like the factory cars.

After winning Le Mans in 1951 and 1953, the C Type has become one of the most sought after automobiles to the true enthusiast. Coventry Classics have produced a product that will allow you to experience a C Type the way it was back in the glory days. Look over our specifications page and contact us with your requirements.
