Out on a test drive in the beautiful SS100, Suffolk Sportscars have called in to our workshops to pay us a little visit and show our John some developments possibly suited to our Jensen 541R rebuild.
Suffolk Sportscars Official Website
Suffolk Sportscars is dedicated to the production of the visually exact reproduction of the legendary Jaguar SS100, they have been in continual production of these cars for over 20 years. It is a pure and true in it’s form, and is fully recognised and accepted by all the Jaguar car clubs around the world.
The SS Jaguar 100 was originally designed in 1935 by William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar Cars Limited. You will find a history of the SS Jaguar 100 within their website.
The SS Jaguar 100 is one of the most important cars every produced in England. It marked the high point of English sports car design before the start of World War II. When the leading motoring writers of Europe selected their choice of the 100 most important cars of the 20th century, they included the legendary SS Jaguar 100. Surely there cannot be a more iconic or widely recognised car ever produced in such limited numbers. Only 314 SS Jaguar 100s were ever made, so for a car to be so well recognised signifies it as one of the most significant Art Deco vehicle designs, and also, a hugely significant vehicle in British motoring history.
