​

The SS Jaguar 100 is a British 2-seat sports car built between 1936 and 1939 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England. The manufacturer's name 'SS Cars' used from 1934 maintained a link to the previous owner, Swallow Sidecar, founded in 1922 by Walmsley and Lyons to build motorcycle sidecars. In March 1945 the S. S. Cars shareholders agreed to change the name to Jaguar Cars Limited. 

Suffolk Sportscars were based in Woodbridge, Suffolk, United Kingdom and built glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) SS100 replicas. Upon receiving an order, the replica car was built individually by hand to the customer's own specifications. Alternatively, a replica could be ordered in component form for skilled home assembly. The Suffolk SS100 used the Jaguar XK6 engine, and commonly the 4-speed Jaguar 'Short Compact' gearbox as the drivetrain. Some examples of the Suffolk were built with automatic transmissions, 5-speed gearboxes or in LHD. The Suffolk Sportscars SS100 was probably the most prolific replica of the SS Jaguar 100. As of 2017, Suffolk Sportscars Ltd. report that they have built over 315 examples of their Suffolk SS100, therefore outproducing the original SS100s production run of 314 vehicles.
