Car to be at auction 7/10
www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php

Auction description:
Lot 335
Registration Number: 291 VTX
Chassis Number: 164623DN

The example on offer here today was built by Realm Engineering of Worcestershire, who shot to fame after constructing the RAM Cobra – the only Cobra replica ever to be granted the personal approval of Caroll Shelby himself.

Constructed from a 1963 MkII donor vehicle, all relevant parts have been refurbrished or renewed where necessary, creating a virtually new car. Finished in Midnight Blue with grey leather trim and navy blue carpet, the car is described as being in excellent condition throughout.

The vendor describes the workmanship of the vehicle to be of a very high standard, and indeed the car was the category award winner at the South Wales Classic Car Show earlier this year.

Complete with V5 document and an MoT certificate valid until April 2011, the car falls under the road tax exemption for historic vehicles. With genuine C-Types now fetching prices in excess of $2.5 million, this represents a chance to acquire a superb ready-to-drive replica of this milestone of Jaguar engineering for a fraction of the cost.

Estimate: £40000 - £45000
