Ecurie Ecosse from Scotland is well known, its dark blue racing cars with the characteristic ornamentation are legends, including the Jaguar D-Type with which Ninian Sanderson and Fron Flockhart won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1956.
Back in 1952, Ian Stewart, the early Ecurie Ecosse racing driver, picked up a brand new Jaguar C-Type. Until they were replaced by the D-Type, the seven Ecosse C-Types achieved 59 podium finishes, not least thanks to the good preparation by team manager Wilkinson and the good planning of David Murray.
Now Ecurie Ecosse is also jumping on the continuation bandwagon and producing a sister car for each of the original C-Types, all of which still exist.
They obviously didn't want to stick to the original specifications, because instead of 3.4 liters of displacement, 4.2 liters are now the order of the day, instead of carburetors there is fuel injection and the disc brakes are also supposed to bite harder than back then. In addition, the tubular frame was obviously designed to be somewhat wider and stiffer. Modern production methods are also used to some extent, even if the aluminum bodies are still to be hammered.
Visually, the result is certainly impressive, and in terms of performance, nothing should be left to be desired, as the 998 kg racing car (4050 x 1597 x 1050 mm) accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds with 300 hp and reaches around 250 km/h.
More information can be found on the Ecurie Ecosse website. However, no price is mentioned there, but you can register for test drives.
