Of the 240 examples produced by Proteus, only around 40 were fitted with all-aluminum bodywork.

Our all-aluminum example is therefore one of the rarest and most sought-after on the market for its finesse and quality of construction. Based on an MKII 3.8, it retains its 210 hp engine and 4-speed gearbox with overdrive. Purchased in July 2006 in England from Adrian Hamilton (Duncan Hamilton & co Ltd), it carries the colors of the famous Ecurie Ecosse founded by David Murray in 1952.

It has taken part in numerous Goodwood Revivals, being driving to the event from the South of France and back, without incident. Regularly maintained by renowned specialists such as Accel Moteurs in Pau (former Cosworth mechanic) and The Workshop (Pierre Modas) in Biarritz, its handling, ease of use and reliability are beyond question.

Accompanied by an extensive file including all invoices from the outset and a photo binder of its construction, this Jaguar Type C is a fascinating machine, easy to handle and yet capable of extraordinary performance for its time. A must-see, for a fraction of the price of the real thing.

Freshly serviced with a brand new radiator and rebuilt brakes, this fast cat is ready for adventure.
