Seller's comments about 1938' Jaguar SS100
1A History47 years of previous ownershipRestored by marque experts in EnglandNot even 200 examples of the Jaguar SS 100 2. 5 Litre were built, and very few of them are still authentic and original.The “100” stood for the ambitious 100 miles/ 160 km/ h, which the 2. 5 liter didn’t quite reach, but the 3. 5 liter exceeded. Our SS 100 was delivered new to Prague in 1938.After the usual gap during the war, the car reappeared in 1954, still in Czechoslovakia.Copies of the Czechoslovak registration papers are available, and the previous owners are documented by name.From 1966, it belonged to Eugen Jegerov, a famous jazz musician and actor who also owned a 3 1/ 2 liter SS 100. Jegerov also drove the car in several rallies and circuit races, as photos show.At the end of the 1970s, a Swiss classic car enthusiast learned of the car and set out to acquire it. Only after several trips to the Czechoslovak capital, lengthy negotiations, and considerable effort did he finally manage to officially export the sports car from the Eastern Bloc. All of this was meticulously documented by the previous owner and is part of the extraordinary history of this SS 100.The photos taken at that time show that the vehicle was in need of restoration but still complete and original.Between 1986 and 1991, the SS 100 was completely and meticulously restored by Ashton Keynes Vintage Restorations in England.The owner then used the car again for what it was built for: in 1992 and 1993 he drove the Mille Miglia, and in 2019 the Gran Premio Nuvolari (to name just the most important events).In 2014, the Jaguar was brought back to Ashton Keynes, England, to be restored again.And in the last 10 years, a total of just over EUR 15, 000 was invested.Certainly one of the best SS 100s we have come across in 38 years of classic car trading.
