Overview about this 1954 Jaguar C-Type Recreation by Brazell Engineering for sale

This is a recreation, not an original C-Type, and the dealer says so plainly. Brazell Engineering built it between 2012 and 2013 on Lynx Engineering chassis 006 with a Shapecraft body, and it is registered in the United Kingdom as a 1954 car.

What is under the skin is serious. The engine is a John Exley 3.4-litre straight-six on the correct C-type block and head, quoted at over 280 bhp, with sand-cast H8 SU carburettors, a C-Type sump, Kent 460 cams, a Moss close-ratio gearset with a C-Type top cover and a Pearson Engineering rear axle with a Thornton Power-Lock differential.

It is finished in British Racing Green over Suede Green hide with Old English White roundels, holds a valid FIA Technical Passport, and has covered 800 miles with one owner. The dealer states it is one of only two recreations Brazell has built.

FAQ

This Jaguar C-Type in the European market

How this car sits against the other Jaguar C-Type advertised in Europe on 2026, and what to settle before a cross-border purchase.

Is this Jaguar priced above or below the European market?

At £249,950, about €292,438, it sits above the median of €152,040 for the 17 Jaguar advertised in Europe in 2026. 82% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread. See the listings

Can this Jaguar be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Jaguar compare?

1,287 km recorded, against a median of 26,957 km across the Jaguar advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Jaguar are priced closest to this one?

a 1975 car in the United Kingdom at €292,438, and a 1963 car in the United Kingdom at €304,138. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself. See the listings

Who is selling this Jaguar C-Type, and how does a purchase work?

Joe Macari, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Jaguar C-Type be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

Is this Jaguar C-Type still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Joe Macari before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
