This Jaguar C-Type re-creation is said to have been constructed by Hawker Racing in Suffolk, UK, in the 2010s and was purchased by its current owner from a collection in Long Island, New York, two years ago. Featuring aluminum bodywork finished in black over a steel tube frame, the car is powered by a 3.4-liter Jaguar XK inline-six that breathes through twin SU carburetors. Additional features include a four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel drum brakes, independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, 16” wire wheels, side-pipe exhaust, and red leather upholstery over two-place seating. This C-Type re-creation is now offered on dealer consignment in Mount Kisco, New York, with invoices from the last two years and a New Jersey title describing it as a 1954 Jaguar.

This car is said to be among a limited run of re-creations built with hand-formed aluminum bodywork by Hawker Racing, which was formed as an offshoot of vintage aircraft restoration outfit Hawker Restorations. The body is finished in black with number 54 roundels on the hood, sides, and tail section. A paint correction is said to have been performed in 2022. Exterior details include faired-in Lucas tri-bar headlights, leather hood-retention straps, Brooklands-style windscreens behind a fixed full-width windshield, dual side mirrors, a Monza-style fuel filler, and side-pipe exhaust with dual outlets.

Chrome wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs and are wrapped in 6.00H16 Avon Turbospeed Mk 4 tires. Stopping is handled by drum brakes at each corner, while steering is via rack and pinion. The brake fluid reservoir was replaced in 2022, at which time the fluid was flushed.

The right-hand-drive cockpit houses a pair of fixed-back bucket seats trimmed in red leather, while silver upholstery covers the center tunnel. Additional features include a door-pull strap wrapped in red leather, a polished shift knob, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, and a passenger-side grab handle.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer, and gauges monitoring amperage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 360 miles.

The 3.4-liter XK inline-six features dual-overhead camshafts, twin SU carburetors, a cold-air intake box, twin Lucas coils, and three-into-one exhaust headers. Service in 2022 included cleaning of the carburetors, repairs to the radiator, flushing of the fuel system, and fluid changes.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

The New Jersey title is marked as a “correction” and describes the car as a 1954 Jaguar C-T with identification number 804580DN, which is stamped on a chassis plate affixed inside the engine bay and corresponds with a 1955 Jaguar XK140.
