1960 Jaguar C-Type Re-creation
Coachwork by Bryan Wingfield/DRL Engineering
Registration no. 5450 PJ
Chassis no. P1F8240BW
Engine no. 7B50184
Sold for £50,600 inc. premium

Bryan Wingfield constructed this exacting replica for its original owner. It is the first of seven C-Type re-creations by Wingfield's company DRL Engineering and was first owned by Anthony Lumsden-Cook, a well-known collector of historic Jaguars. A letter on file from one of the car's previous owners, Roger Earl, states that the chassis is identical in all respects to an original C-Type, even down to the same unusual rear suspension geometry, Dunlop disc brakes and aluminium bodywork. The engine is a 3.4-litre XK unit breathing via twin 2" SU carburettors; the gearbox is a four-speed Moss and the final drive is to Le Mans gearing. A fax message from Bryan Wingfield is on file also, stating that the rear axle is a Salisbury derived from the Mk2 saloon and that the front suspension is mostly E-Type. Mr Earl mentions a complete engine rebuild at 6,997 miles and states that at the time of writing (September 1998) the C-Type had covered 12,286 miles. The current odometer reading is 13,937 miles.

Described as a nice car to drive and in generally good condition, '5450 PJ' obtained a fresh MoT in August 2012, the garage responsible noting that it had a misfire and recommending the fitting of electronic ignition, which will be undertaken prior to its sale. Finished in British Racing Green with matching leather interior, this most faithful C-Type re-creation is offered with current MoT/tax, Swansea V5 registration document and an extensive file of maintenance history relating to the period when it was looked after by DK Engineering and Foskers

Auction description:
235 - 1968 Jaguar D-Type Replica by RAM
Registration JSA213G
Chassis Number P1F8240BW
Engine Number 7B50184
Odometer reading 5,400 miles
Estimate £39,000 - £45,000

Constructed to the highest standards in 1992, this replica of Jaguar's legendary Le Mans-winning D-Type uses an LR Roadsters RAM body and chassis kit and is powered by a 3.8-litre XK engine featuring triple Weber carburettors and coupled to a four-speed all synchromesh manual with overdrive gearbox. Constructed around a tubular-steel backbone space frame chassis, the RAM D-Type features steel-braced fibreglass bodywork in the long nose, long fin, passenger-carrying style, with full-width windscreen first seen on the works Le Mans cars in 1955, while the wheels, lights and instruments are said to be to correct specification. Based almost exclusively on 1968 Jaguar running gear, unlike some of its rivals, the RAM D-Type was described by Kit Cars & Specials magazine as having 'undisputed mechanical integrity,' and was reckoned 'one of the most desirable replicas we have yet laid our hands on.' The factory claimed a performance, depending on engine tune, of 0-60mph in approximately 5.9 seconds and a maximum speed in overdrive top approaching 150mph; stunning figures even by today's standards. Finished in British Racing Green with grey leather interior, this authentic looking D-Type replica has covered only 5400 miles since its construction and is supplied with a V5C registration document which states that the car was registered as a RAM LM in 1992, a history file containing old MoT test certificates going back to 1998 and related invoices. The vendor tells us that this RAM D-Type is in excellent condition throughout.

Constructed around a tubular-steel backbone spaceframe chassis, the LR Roadsters D-Type features steel-braced glassfibre bodywork in the long nose, long fin, passenger-carrying style with full-width windscreen first seen on the works Le Mans cars in 1955, while the wheels, lights and instruments are said to be to correct specification.

The current vendor purchased this car at Bonhams' sale at the Goodwood Revival meeting in September 2012 (Lot 178) and since then has serviced, detailed and enjoyed it. Finished in British Racing Green with grey leather interior, this authentic looking D-Type replica has covered fewer than 6,000 miles since construction and is described by the vendor as in generally excellent condition. The car is offered with history file, Vehicle Information Sheet, MoT to August 2016 and V5C registration document.
