Auction description:

15 Apr 2026: Classic cars & motorcycles 933/​11

1938 Jaguar SS100 2.5

Chassis No. 49029, completed on 5 January 1938.

One of only 198 examples produced; it is estimated that merely 120–140 survive today.

Accompanied by a Heritage Certificate and extensive documentation.

Chassis number 49029 was completed on 5 January 1938 and delivered to a Mr. Brown with the intention of participating in motor racing. In 1952 the car was exported to Houston, fully restored. Remarkably, it has retained its original engine and gearbox throughout the decades and presents today in an exceptionally well-preserved and authentic condition.

The current owner discovered the car among many remarkable automobiles in the Strøjer Collection on the island of Funen and acquired it in 2003. Since then, it has occasionally graced the roads of Funen when weather conditions permitted. The car is unfamiliar with the phenomenon of rain and has been meticulously maintained by a local specialist throughout the years.

Consequently, this red lightning from Funen still stands proud and stately, awaiting its next passionate custodian.
