Description
For sale, this 1973 Squire SS100, built by Intermeccanica in Turin, is a particularly rare model, with 50 examples produced between 1972 and 1973.
It represents a high-end interpretation of the iconic Jaguar SS100, faithfully reproducing its styling while benefiting from a more reliable and usable mechanical package, and will appeal to enthusiasts of classic British roadsters such as Jaguar, Morgan, MG, Triumph or Austin-Healey. Unlike many replicas, the Squire SS100 was designed as a coherent and accomplished vehicle, combining build quality with driving pleasure.
This example is equipped with a Ford inline-six 4. 1 L (250 ci) engine, developing around 100 to 120 hp, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. The tubular chassis and fiberglass body provide robustness and lightness.
The car shows 14, 071 miles and presents in very good overall condition, both mechanically and aesthetically. It benefited from a major restoration between the late 2000s and early 2010s: black and red interior, a hand-polished cherry burl walnut dashboard, and replacement of numerous mechanical components (shock absorbers, braking system, carburettor, spare wheel).
More recent work carried out:
- complete rewiring in 2022
- routine servicing and revisions
- cooling system refreshed in 2025
- Magnaflow exhaust system homologated
- rear lights replaced with a more vintage model (reversible modification).
The car is sold with a leather hood, a very good condition rollover hoop and removable side windows.
A file listing the part references and their current equivalents is provided with the vehicle, greatly aiding maintenance and parts hunting despite the model’s rarity.
Note: an intervention is required on the windscreen (threaded rod to be reattached), a simple repair.
The vehicle is registered in France with a collection registration certificate. The technical inspection has been performed, the noted points have been corrected, and a new inspection will be provided for the sale. File, invoices and history available.
This Squire SS100 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a vehicle with iconic styling, at once spectacular and usable, ideal for collection, events or pleasure driving.

This Squire SS100 has a special meaning for me, as it belonged to my father. A car enthusiast, he had long dreamed of a Jaguar SS100 but never had the chance to acquire one. This Squire represented a way for him to access that world, preserving the aesthetics and spirit of 1930s roadsters while keeping a simpler, more usable mechanical package.
It is a car chosen with passion and one that does not leave people indifferent. It naturally attracts attention and sparks conversations, particularly among enthusiasts of classic vehicles.
Beyond its rarity (50 examples produced), what makes it unique is the balance between a strong visual presence and real usability. Unlike many vehicles of this aesthetic, it can be driven regularly, making it a car for both collection and enjoyment.
I hope today it can find a new owner who will enjoy it to the full, whether for outings, events or simply the pleasure of driving a car with such distinctive character.
