Ecurie Ecosse is working to create a run of seven continuation Jaguar C-types, one for each of the now near-priceless originals run by the team in period.
Between 1951-55, Ecurie Ecosse notched up 59 podium finishes in major international motor races using a total of seven C-type chassis, before switching to the D-type and going on to win Le Mans in 1956 and ’57.
While each of the seven original Ecurie Ecosse C-types still survives, they are unlikely ever to be raced again given their value – the last one to be sold fetched £8.4m at auction back in 2015.
