New Member - David Misan My C-Type is based on a donor car 1972 XJ6 and was modified by one of the earlier makers ‘Heritage Cars Ltd, UK’.
This car is a combination of aluminium and fibreglass and runs well for a used car, but is certainly not concours condition.
This car was number 61 produced. Heritage Cars are now called ‘Realm Engineering”, a well-known manufacturer of C-Type replicas in the UK.
We are currently in the process of obtaining SA road registration which involves bespoke fabrication and installation of retractable lap sash seat belts and head rests to meet standards.
Running a 4.2 litre straight 6 with triple SU’s. The car was last owned in Galway, Ireland before making it’s way to Adelaide.

My mechanic, Dwayne Moar and I are also taking the opportunity to replace the fuel and brake lines, replace the
cockpit floor, reinforce the under-seat support frame and strengthening the top coil over the front mounting and the lower mounting on the wish bone. I hope it will be on the road in early 2022. Regards David Editor - Thank you David very much for the story and photographs. We can’t wait to see the car on the road.
