The Appeal
The Jaguar SS100, produced between 1936 and 1940, is one of the most revered pre-war British sports cars. With genuine examples now routinely exceeding six figures at auction, well-executed tribute cars offer an appealing, attainable way to get into SS100 ownership.
This 1983-built example is built on a Ford chassis and powered by a 2.3-liter Ford inline-four producing 89 HP. The seller notes that the car’s lightweight construction makes for an engaging driving experience through the manual gearbox. Finished in British Racing Green with gold pinstripes and tan leather upholstery, it captures the pre-war look convincingly, with extensive chrome detailing, whitewall tires, fog lights, a wooden steering wheel, and a beige folding soft top completing the period-correct appearance.
Imported from the USA to the Netherlands with EU duties and VAT paid, the car comes with a U.S. title and European import documentation. The odometer shows 7,846 miles. With Ford-based mechanicals underpinning the car, parts sourcing and servicing should prove straightforward and affordable.
