CHASSIS NUMBER 18124
The SS 100 offered here was one of only 94 cars produced in 1937, and according to the Classic Jaguar Association’s SS 100 Register, was originally delivered by the famous downtown London distributors Henlys on 30 January 1937, finished in black with an olive interior. Subsequent owners were, from 1978 to 1998, Tom Gooding of Minetto, New York, then, from 1998 until Mr. Smith’s acquisition, the well-known enthusiast James Dale, of Canada and Florida. Mr. Dale received the car in trade from Jaguar expert Terry Larson, in exchange for the missing parts to an original C-Type!

Mr. Dale restored the car to original condition, with the exception of a change in colors to the present livery, red with a black interior and tonneau cover. At some point the car received a correct replacement 2½-Litre engine; this engine, still present today, is number 250798. The car remains in very solid and thoroughly presentable condition, showing only minimal instances of wear; the interior is lightly stretched and the paint exhibits minor chips and cracking in the usual stress areas. Mesh stone guards are fitted to the headlamps and radiator. At the time of cataloguing, the odometer recorded just 87 miles since completion of the restoration. A new fuel tank was installed in 2015.

The SS is offered with a Mark V handbook, a correct instruction book for the model, its original cowl numbers tag (loose; a faithful reproduction is mounted to the car), and a small collection of information and ownership documentation from over the years. It is a lovely example ready for continued use and enjoyment, for many years to come.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
