This car competed in the race for 1950s Sports-Racing Cars at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in June 2003.
It's Nicolas Rossi's Jaguar C-Type replica, which I've seen described as being based on a 1954 Jaguar XK140, but appears to be actually based on a 1952 Jaguar XK120 - and it's described in the programme of the event as a 1952 car. Both the XK120 and XK140 (and the original versions of the later XK150) shared the C-Type's 3,442cc straight-6 engine. The car was one of several C-Type replicas created by Peter Jaye.
On 20 June 2018 I showed a photograph of the same car at a Donington Park meeting in 2004.
