Description

1937 Jaguar SS 100
Registration:

First registered 18th February 1937 at Barrow-in-Furness.  Registration number now allocated is WXG 270.  Car was registered as GOF 2 and discussions are underway with DVLA to get this number re-allocated to the car.

Chassis No: 18061

Engine: 252322

Exportable worldwide.  Shipping can be arranged at cost.

Overall Condition:

This is the third original Jaguar SS100 I have been asked to sell in 20 years.

There are precious few original SS 100 cars  that are in an unmolested condition. Many cars have had a chequered history and lack real provenance .

With this car I have  the name of the  first  titled owner, and also  the last owner, who  had the car in his family since 1963.

This car  is quite unusually original , and has a very low mileage. Car has been overseas in a dry climate since 1963 . It has done no more than 2000 miles since then.

After the owner died his family kept the car for a number of years until they recently  asked  me to sell it.

The car had been carefully looked after  and started without any difficulty when  we received it at home .

The engine runs sweetly and all mechanicals seem to be working  correctly. Over the years in storage the hood and tonneau cover had perished so I have removed them and the car needs  a  new  mohair  hood, tonneau and hoodbag. The sidescreens were stored separately and are in excellent condition.

All original  Jaguar SS100 had restricted  interior  body and leg room for taller drivers. SS Jaguars had  a diagonal body brace behind the seats. I have rebraced the  car with an unseen fitting so that there is more interior room.

The  car was retrimmed  shortly after WWII. It is all good condition ,but the next owner might like to consider a retrim in another colour.We have an excellent lady trimmer who would love to do this work.

The bodywork has a wonderful patina and  only a few small  period dents . There is no rot and everything looks in very good condition.  This SS100 is so original and in such a wonderful overall  state  that to give it  a rebuild would, in my opinion, be  like  trying to gild a lily.

I hope I look as good when I get to 78 years old.

This is a car that will delight a new owner who appreciates finding and using a car ‘as is’. These cars are increasingly rarely seen at Jaguar days and shows.

For a sporting owner the famous Mille Miglia and many other exclusive events await.
