The seller offers for sale a 1959 Jaguar SS 100 Replica, professionally manufactured by Classic Roadsters LTD in North Dakota, USA. This tribute to the legendary 1930s SS 100 features a lightweight fiberglass body styled in the spirit of the pre-war original, combined with a more practical and reliable drivetrain. The car is powered by a 1600cc inline-4 engine sourced from a Chevrolet Chevette, paired with a manual transmission and electric fuel pump.
The vehicle has approximately 12,000 verified miles. Lighting systems and indicators are functional. While the car does not currently have a valid Austrian inspection, inspection documentation has already been prepared, and import duties have been paid.
The paint and bodywork are described as good. The two-tone metallic finish is applied to a rust-free fiberglass body that shows only minor superficial marks. Panels, including the suicide doors, align correctly. Brightwork, including chrome bumpers, fog lights, and pre-war style headlights, are in tidy condition.
Inside, the car features a refined classic interior with brown leather seats, vinyl side panels, a wooden dashboard with analog instruments, and a four-spoke steering wheel. The upholstery and brown carpeting are reported to be in beautiful condition. The convertible top is clean and well-maintained, and includes side curtains for rainy conditions. Additional features include twin spare wheels, knock-off wire wheels, wind deflectors, and a trunk rack in vintage style. There is also a small luggage compartment behind the seats.
Originally inspired by the legendary Jaguar SS 100 of the late 1930s, this replica captures much of the original’s charisma while offering a far more accessible and maintainable driving experience. The original SS 100 is one of Jaguar’s most collectible pre-war models, revered for its performance and styling. True examples are now worth a fortune, making quality replicas like this a compelling alternative for those who appreciate the look and feel of the era.
Classic Roadsters LTD was one of the most respected producers of replica vehicles in the United States. Their builds were known for solid construction, authentic proportions, and attention to detail. This example includes several upgrades and thoughtful design touches, blending period aesthetics with 20th-century engineering.
With its visual drama and accessible mechanicals, this car offers a fun and stylish way to experience classic motoring without the fragility or cost associated with genuine pre-war cars. Whether driven or displayed, it’s a conversation starter and a rolling homage to a golden era of automotive history.
