Description
Between 1972 and 1973, Intermeccanica produced in Turin, by hand and in very small numbers, a handful of roadsters faithfully reproducing the silhouette of the legendary Jaguar SS100 from the 1930s. Only 50 examples were built—commissioned by an American importer, they mostly went across the Atlantic. Today, finding an example in Europe is exceptional.
This example is proof of that: registered in France for years, meticulously maintained, documented and ready to drive.

This is a car chosen with passion, and it does not leave people indifferent. It naturally attracts looks and sparks conversations, particularly among classic car enthusiasts.
Beyond its rarity (50 examples produced), what makes it unique is the balance between 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 pleasure.
