Dare to the (beautiful) replica!
In an era when exceptional vehicles (authentic & continuations) command higher and higher prices on the market among the wealthiest collectors, fine replicas are asserting themselves and making more and more sense to enthusiasts.
As avid fans, which of us hasn7t dreamed of owning an AC Cobra 427, a Ferrari 250 GT short-wheelbase, or a Jaguar Type-C? Replicas can bring your dreams to life. They remain an attractive alternative to the originals, in the sense that their lower market value allows owners much less reticence in usage.
A true rolling sculpture, the Type-C featured on this page is no exception. Its build quality, raw beauty, noble 3. 8 Jaguar, LHD configuration and genuine French registration document all count in its favour.
