1966 Jaguar SS100 REPLICA (aluminum body, Jaguar drivetrain, suspension, etc.)

1966 JAGUAR "Birchfield SS" 4.2 litre Roadster

(1938Jaguar SS100 replica)

Here is a beautiful aluminum bodied 1938 Jaguar SS100 replica.

This car was built in England by a small company that no longer exists namedBirchfield, /i>in 1987. Only 22 were ever produced, 4 of which were completely built and assembled byBirchfieldthemselves, ith the others sold as home builds. Of the 14 built at the factory, his was the only one made in a left hand drive configuration, ith a manual gearbox. All of the others made at the factory were right hand drive, nd automatic (from the donor XJ6). This car having a transmission from a 1966 Jaguar saloon, eant that Birchfield registered as a 1966 Jaguar.

Unlike most SS100 replicas (with fibreglass panels using either a Volkswagen, r Pinto as a donor), hese used all aluminum bodies, nd all Jaguar mechanicals - which made for a lightweight, igh performance Jaguar roadster.

The car has driven less than 5,000 miles since it was made, nd I had it recommissioned at Reg Beer Coachbuilder CMC Enterprises here in Ontario, anada last summer (work is listed below). It is currently licensed, n the road (weather permitting), ith its' clean bill of health and driving extraordinarily well. A very visceral experience to drive such a light roadster with that power, ated to the 4 speed overdrive transmission. Very nice car to drive, nd included with the car is the original build sheet, nd all relevant data.
