This exclusive SS Jaguar 100 2.5 Litre, the story behind the car is of course also very important because we are talking about of real historical heritage, of which the owners considered themselves as a temporary owner, with the obligation to hand it over to the next generation in a at least comparable, and perhaps better condition.

In the case of this beautiful dark blue SS 100 we are talking about a 2.5 Liter version with matching numbers and color, of which only 198 were made between 1936 and 1939. At that time the purchase price was £ 395, -… In the following decades this SS was entrusted to some careful owners and the car also saw something of the world, because in addition to his native England, it also drove for years in the USA and on the island of Jamaica. The most recent years the SS 100 was in the hands of an Englishman living in the Netherlands who, among other events, drove the legendary Mille Miglia. The maintenance was done to a true SS specialist and all invoices and correspondence are also present. Of course there is also an original heritage certificate.

This SS 100 2.5 Liter is in absolute top condition and is ready to enjoy. That might be a just for fun trip in the area, but you will also be welcomed with open arms at all important and prestigious events and tours in the world.
