1937 Jaguar Roadster in Farmingdale, New York

Vehicle Description

1965 SUFFOLK ENGINEERING 1965 JAGUAR SS100 RECREATION for sale. Motorcar Classics is excited to present this bespoke recreation of Jaguars iconic 1937 SS100 Roadster. Roger Williams, the developer of Suffolk Sports Cars of Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK, has a long history with Jaguar Cars and his SS100 is widely recognized as an authentic replica of the SS100 and features many parts that are interchangeable with the original cars. The car is virtually indistinguishable from an original and benefits from being upgraded with modern Jaguar components on a robust custom-designed chassis. Our beautiful example is featured in classic British Racing Green on its fiberglass body panels with Tan leather trimming the cockpit. The engine-turned instrument panel and classic instruments lend a vintage feel to the cockpit. The car is fitted with a vintage 1965 Jaguar 4.2L DOHC XK engine built by VSE (Vintage Sports Engines of Powys, Wales) mated to a compact short throw Jaguar 4-Speed box with overdrive on top gear. This lightweight car has the power and torque of an E-Type with lighter weight for truly impressive performance. Each SS100 is built to the owners specifications and this car features a Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, Lucas QK596 head lamps, and a single Lucas Flame Thrower driving light. Not shown in the photos, but also included, are removable wings for the windscreen, and a pair of Brooklands Wind Screens. Suffolk is still actively in business with Rogers son, Fraser, active, meaning that support and spares will be readily available for years to come. Our car has full weather gear including a Black top and side curtains. The Suffolk SS100 sells for a small fraction of the original, but has become a desired collectible in its own right. This car will give its new owner great pleasure on the road and show field.
