AI Listing Summary
This is a well-presented recreation of a classic SS100 Jaguar, finished in Old English White with a Claret red leather interior. It features a rebuilt 4.2-liter Jaguar engine with fuel injection, a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, and modern upgrades like disc brakes and adjustable suspension. While not an original, it offers the aesthetic appeal of an SS100 with enhanced usability and comes with a history file and various accessories.

The car is described as being in excellent condition, with very good paintwork and interior, and a smooth engine bay.

Cars in good condition now regularly fetch in excess of £300,000.
It is of little surprise then, that those of us of a more impecunious persuasion would look for an alternative and a number of boutique car manufacturers set about feeding this demand, supplying good quality recreations at a fraction of the cost of a real one.
