Jaguar SS100 Re-Creation by Suffolk Sportscars

This Jaguar SS100 re-creation was built by Suffolk Sportcars of Woodbridge, England, and was first sold in the UK before it was imported to the US in October 2013. The car is finished in British Racing Green over a tan leather interior, and power comes from a 4.2-liter XK inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive. Features include a Lucas driving lamp and headlights, a folding windshield with Brooklands-style driving screens, an engine-turned aluminum dashboard, and an auxiliary electric cooling fan. The car was listed on BaT in December 2020 and was recently acquired by the selling dealer. This SS100 re-creation is now offered in New York at no reserve with a black mohair top, a tonneau cover, and a clean Connecticut title listing it as a 1965 Jaguar.
Suffolk Sportcars crafted fiberglass-bodied SS100 replicas utilizing the drivelines of Jaguar saloons for 20 years before ceasing production in 2020. This example is finished in British Racing Green and features Lucas QK596 headlights with stone guards, an aluminum hood, a Lucas Flamethrower driving lamp, a polished radiator surround, a folding windshield, Brooklands-style driving screens, wind wings, dual taillights with turn signals, and a chrome luggage rack. A black mohair top is included in the sale along with a black mohair boot and tonneau cover. Scratches and stone chips are noted.
Chrome wire wheels with two-eared knock-off hubs are mounted with Blockley Special 5.50-18 bias-ply tires, and a spare wheel is mounted out back. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs mounted behind plates that give the appearance of drums.
The right-hand-drive cabin is trimmed in tan leather with green carpets. An engine-turned aluminum dashboard is fitted ahead of the wood-rimmed steering wheel, which is located on the right side.
Silver Smiths replica SS instrumentation includes a tachometer with a 4,500-rpm redline, an oil pressure gauge, a 120-mph speedometer, and readouts for fuel level, amperage, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles.
The 4.2-liter XK inline-six was sourced from a 1965 Jaguar and was reportedly rebuilt by VSE in the UK prior to installation by Suffolk Sportcars. Twin SU carburetors are mounted with Ram-Flo air cleaners. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Jaguar “short box” four-speed manual transmission with Laycock electric overdrive.
