Make: SS 100 3½ litre
Year: 1939
Details: WORKS TEAM RALLY CAR
This must be the ultimate SS 100 for any collector or investment. Prepared by the factory along with two other cars using consecutive registration and chassis numbers EHP 201, EHP 202 and this car EHP 203. Mr Tommy Wisdom was given the drive in 203 to compete in the 1939 RAC Rally. They came second beaten only by the BMW Frazer Nash team by a few seconds. Some excellent period reports and photos from the Motor Magazine are in the history file describing Tommy Wisdom's performance in 203 as "spectacular" setting various fastest times. The car has had an extremely cosseted life since leaving the ownership of Jaguars spending much of its life in the hands of a very keen enthusiast in South Africa. It was known to be in Rhodesia in 1956 and later in 1989 returned to England in a totally original and sound condition. A fastidious and fanatical restoration then took place making sure every single panel and piece of wood was retained finishing it off to the original team cars colour. This is how the car still is today having spent most of its later time in a private collection.
Fully matching numbers and everything as it left SS Cars Ltd even the original bronze bodied competition carburettors are still fitted. Competition shock absorbers and vented brake drums. This car is extremely powerful giving 150 b.h.p on the rolling road. It is undoubtedly the best driving SS 100 we have ever had the pleasure to drive. Currently the holder of the "Appleyard Trophy" of the Jaguar Driver's Club and also used by Jaguar Cars for display purposes at various prestigious events over the last two years. Both the investment and enjoyment potential of this vehicle must be second to none.

Supplied to the first owner by Henleys on June 4th 1936 to a Mr Roberts who was a keen motorist competing successfully in various rallies including the RAC in 1936 where he won a first class award. The next known owner is in 1960 in Scotland. Returning to England in the ownership of a Mr Nye who treated it to a full nut and bolt restoration. The present owner has owned it for 35 years and has used it frequently on continental tours to S O L D Austria, Germany, France, Holland etc it never letting him down once. It has been meticulously maintained and is ready to go anywhere, just jump in and go. The car is in excellent condition and it also benefits from a later 2½ SS engine which has the larger crankshaft plus many more improvements to make the car very much more reliable and usable. The early engine block is still with the car showing the correct engine number if anyone would like to build it up again. This is a very good usable and proven SS 100 to appreciate and enjoy.
