What looks like a C-Type, sounds like a C-Type, and walks like a C-Type–but won’t set you back millions of dollars? A Proteus, as it turns out.

This 1952 Jaguar C-Type Recreation was built in the ‘80s as a faithful reproduction of the legendary C-Type by fabrication house Proteus, known for “creating some of the best C-Type replicas in the world.”

Constructed using an aluminum body over a specially built chassis, power comes from a genuine 3.4-liter inline-six from a Jaguar XK120 that’s backed by a four-speed Moss gearbox.

Find this 1952 Jaguar C-Type Recreation available from Fantasy Junction, price available upon application.

Look like sand cast H8 carbs - wonder where they got those?  Moss sells them today as replicas for $3500 a pair, but I didn't recall them becoming available until much later than the Proteus.
