Powered by the 2½ Litre overhead-valve six-cylinder developed with input from Harry Weslake, producing around 102bhp, driving through a manual gearbox, and featuring steel coachbuilt bodywork over an ash frame in traditional pre-war fashion

This 1937 SS Jaguar 2½ Litre Sports Saloon is finished in Black and retains its original navy blue leather interior, along with what are understood to be its original instruments, tool kit and sunroof

Understood to have been gradually restored from 1990 onwards, with ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upkeep rather than significant alteration from standard specification

Supplied new by Henlys of Piccadilly to a Mr Worricker and registered on 15 June 1937, remaining with him for 48 years, thereafter, maintained by the same garage and passing through just five keepers in total. Later enjoyed at Jaguar Drivers Club events before joining a significant private collection

Offered with a large history file including a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, previous JDC valuation, V5C registration certificate, invoices, MOT certificates, road tax discs, correspondence, copies of historic registration documents, sales brochures, road test reports and a Shell Lubrication Servicing Guide

With known ownership from new, limited custodians and an extensive history file, this early SS Jaguar presents an appealing opportunity for the collector of pre-war British motor cars
