1937 SS Jaguar 100 3 1/2 Liter Roadster Price $1,045,000
S/N 39002; Engine # M501E; Black/Black leather; Estimate $750,000 - $950,000; Recent restoration, 2+ condition; Hammered Sold at $950,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $1,045,000 -- RHD. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Freshly restored to better than new and loaded with bling. 2009 Pebble Beach class winner, the oldest surviving 3 1/2 litre SS100. Reported sold at Bonhams Goodwood Revival sale in 2006 for $296,230 as an older restoration out of the Kaus Rosso et Bianco Collection. Subsequently restored to beyond perfect condition, it is absolutely no surprise at all that the Pebble Beach bidders got all worked up over this SS100. It was eye-candy. That said, it is surprising to see a recent PB winner bring such a premium. Its show days are numbered and it's almost too beautifully restored and presented to risk stone chips and bug splatter ... the operative word being ‘almost.’ A car that endorses the principle, buy the very best you can afford: this is the very best but it brought a far beyond perfect
