"Jaguar introduced the SS 2.5 litre DHC in 1937, and manufactured 249 vehicles before production ceased in 1939. These cars featured a 2.5-litre overhead valve engine, producing 102 horsepower and propelling the car to 90 MPH. This car, chassis number 46037, was completed June 1, 1938. It was the 37th car produced and delivered to a Mrs. A. Sidi.

The car resurfaced and 'acquired' its present owners on May, 29, 2001. It was a rolling chassis with an engine block and 12 boxes of parts. The car was restored by LeStable of Glen Carbon, Illinois. It most recently received a perfect score at the 2008 Concours of the Jaguar Club of Greater St. Louis."

Seller's description:

Hyman LTD in Saint Louis, Missouri

According to the Jaguar heritage certificate chassis 46037 was completed in June 1938 destined for the home market. It was sold through dealer Glovers of Ripon in Yorkshire to a Mrs. A. Sidi although little else of the early history is documented. The recent history picks up in 2001 when a Jaguar enthusiast collector and restorer acquired the car and proceeded to treat it to a ground-up nut-and-bolt restoration. The project spanned several years between 2001 and 2005 with detailing service and concours prep work continuing through today. The owner selected a striking color combination of two-tone black with French gray side panels and wheels accented by a gorgeous dark red leather interior. A large binder includes photos and receipts from the restoration as well as an impressive stack of JCNA Concours judging sheets spanning at least ten years.Since the restoration it traded hands once and the most recent owner continued to cherish and enjoy the car to the fullest. This SS Jaguar appeared at numerous concours and club events around the country in the past ten years. Highlights include appearances at the 2010 Amelia Island Concours Milwaukee Masterpiece in 2010 and 2013 Santa Fe Concourso in 2011 Cars on Kiawah 2017 (Peoples Choice and 1st in Class) and the 2018 Hilton Head Concours where it earned a Palmetto Award. In JCNA concours competition the car scored consistent high 99-point finishes with multiple 100-point scores including one at the 2015 Challenge Championship where it earned Best in Class.Through regular care and maintenance the previous owners have ensured this SS Drophead remains in superb condition. The restoration still looks remarkably fresh with only a few indications of use visible on the engine and undercarriage. Paint and brightwork quality is excellent and the car is equally suited for show or touring. Details include beautiful chrome Lucas P100 headlamps twin Lucas horns and painted wire wheels shod with whitewall Firestone tires. Red leather upholstery adds a pop of color and completes the striking presentation. As with the exterior the soft trim is superb and faithful to factory specifications. The woodwork is also finished to a high standard along with the original instruments and controls. This car features the full complement of original tools arranged correctly in the green-flocked compartment built-in to the boot lid. The Heritage Certificate verifies the 2 -litre engine as the original unit and it is tidy and presented with correct finishes and fittings. The chassis is also well detailed and shows signs of light use since the restoration but remains in excellent order.Equally at home on the show field as it is on long drives through the countryside this versatile and elegant motorcar offers both performance and style in abundance. The opportunity to acquire a prewar SS Jaguar does not present itself often and this lovely example is one of the best of the breed.
