1953 JAGUAR C-TYPE TRIBUTE CAR.

This beautiful Jaguar C-Type Tribute Car was build by @harrymetalshaper and his team from the ground up at @englishwheelfabrication in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The chassis was provided by the client and everything else was built by hand.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail is apparent right down to the louvers, which were made with a handmade Louvre press. It is such a beautiful car and incredible to believe that these shapes were once flat sheet metal.

English Wheel Fabrication was only commissioned to do the build, the car will be handed back to the client to be completed.
I do hope it stays in Johannesburg, I’d LOVE to shoot the finished product.
