This is a 1939 Jaguar SS100 Evocation, built by Classic Roadsters Ltd, and registered as a 'Roader Duke'. It features a 2.3 litre Ford engine with a manual transmission. The car was imported from California in 2012 and has been with two UK keepers.

Condition

6

The car requires recommissioning prior to road use, and the last MOT test was in 2019. There are no mentions of any mechanical issues or cosmetic problems, however, recommissioning would involve some level of work to return it to roadworthy condition. Therefore a rating of Good is appropriate.

Founded in 1979, Classic Roadsters Ltd of North Dakota produced fibreglass-bodied evocations of the MG TD, Austin-Healey 3000, Mercedes-Benz 500K and Jaguar SS100 christened the ‘Duchess’, ‘Saxon’ (or ‘Sebring’ in wide-arched guise), ‘Marlene’ and ‘Duke’ respectively.

Launched during 1982, the latter was based around a tubular and sheet steel chassis equipped with coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes.

Available with a choice of Ford or Chevrolet engines allied to either manual or automatic transmissions, the ‘Duke’ offered brisk performance and was marketed by Classic Roadsters as ‘The best, most authentic component car money can buy’.

Registered with the DVLA as a ‘Roader Duke 1939 Jag’ (sic), this handsome two-seater is powered by a 2.3 litre Ford four-cylinder engine mated to manual transmission.

Thought to have been factory-built if only because of the VIN plate on its bulkhead, the SS100 Evocation was resident in California before being imported to the UK during 2012.
