Proteus to introduce Coupe version of Jaguar C-type Replica at British Retro Live Show

Why did the amazing Proteus Car Company adopt the name? From the God Proteus comes protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms": "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability. And so it is with Proteus Cars. Despite being known primarily for its immaculate C Type replicas, the company is on the cusp of adding to its range in 2008 with “the car that Jaguar never built” – the classic C Type Coupe version. After discussion with fans of the marque as well as dealers at the recent highly successful Bremen Auto Show, Proteus management (Matt Beverley and Jayne Goddard) have gone firm on plans to introduce the Coupe at the forthcoming Retro Live Show at Stoneleigh on the 14th, 15th and 16th of March.

The Coupe is the next logical progression in the development of a range of retro road models from the golden age of sports car racing.
