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.
