SS100 Jaguar Replica: Authentic Component Specification

Chassis & Suspension

The chassis is meticulously fabricated using the original Rubery Owen designs, referencing Jaguar’s authentic factory drawings. Period-correct Jaguar front and rear axles—sourced from SS and Mk 4 saloons—ensure a truly authentic driving feel.

Engine & Transmission

Each SS100 Replica features a fully restored original Jaguar powertrain. Options include 2.5-litre and 3.5-litre Jaguar engines, coupled with matching gearboxes. Every component is disassembled, restored, and reassembled in our workshops to its former glory.

Body & Exterior

The body frame follows traditional coachbuilding methods, crafted from timber and clad in lightweight aluminium. Hand-formed aluminium guards complete the exterior, ensuring period-correct aesthetics.

Authentic Detailing

To maintain historical accuracy, we manufacture or source original-specification parts, including:

• Windscreen stanchions, headlight bars, and hood bows—hand-crafted using original patterns and jigs.
• Lucas electrical components with period-correct wiring looms.
• Interior trim replicated to Jaguar’s original 1939 specification.

Each SS100 Jaguar Replica is a testament to the timeless craftsmanship and engineering excellence of the pre-war era.
