General Specification
We are pleased to be able to build a Suffolk SS100 Jaguar reproduction
to customer order and offer a 12 month guarantee against the failure
of any mechanical parts and a 10 year guarantee against corrosion
of the chassis or bodywork (UK only). Completed cars are supplied
with the latest British Department of Transport Vehicle Registration
Document V5C and a 12 month MOT certificate. Each Suffolk SS100
Jaguar is constructed using the original vehicle identity complete
with fully rebuilt mechanical parts from a Jaguar XJ6 4.2 Series
II or III. However, we can also use 1964-1968 Jaguar S Type identity
and mechanical parts that can simplify registration regulations
in certain countries. We have exported completed cars to most European
countries and also to the USA, South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand. Every new car is made specifically to a customer order
and variations to the specification can readily be incorporated.
Cars can also be built in Left Hand Drive format. Catalytic converters
are not necessary but can be fitted where local regulations require.
