1937 Jaguar SS100 Replica - Carisma Century - Rare Opportunity for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 544 votes

Here is my beautiful 1937 Jaguar SS100 replica. actually a Carisma Century creation based on a 1979 Ford Cortina 2 litre.   Racing Green and almost flawless bodywork.   Just a little patina on the bumpers and lights. It has a very good soft top that is almost new in appearance and I also have a set of leather straps for the bonnet (plus a load of chrome goodies to keep you amused in the evenings in the garage). Lots of chrome including the Jaguar on the bonnet.

The wings and doors are GRP. the bonnet is aluminium.   All the lights look authentic. The headlamps are massive and provide excellent light at night.

The wheels are imitation wire wheels using Mangels spinners. (you can see the spinners removed in picture 4 and fitted in picture 5.   There is a good spare on the boot.   All the tyres are in good condition.

Inside is cream leather. which looks great. and if I was going to do another job on the car it would be to clean the leather a little.   There are no rips at all.  

The engine is a reconditioned Pinto 2. 0 motor with a 4 speed manual gearbox.   It goes very quickly indeed (excellent power/weight ratio). These engines are highly tuneable though this particular engine is standard. Electric Fan fitted. Recent service.

I love this car but want to sell it to finish a Dax Cobra that is sat there making me feel guilty.

All the pictures but the last 2 are of the car itself.   The last two are the real thing so you can see how realistic this car is.   I have people looking underneath it in pub car parks to see if it is real or not.

Car based in Cornwall but could drive anywhere easily.   Buyer collects.

£500 deposit within 24 hours of auction close. balance on collection.

Comments and questions to the seller:

I was most interested to find this listing, as I am the original buyer and constructor of the Carisma kit, as well as the purchaser of the Cortina donor. The green bodywork was professionally painted in Rover Arden Green. I spent a bit more time water-proofing the (upholstered) boot, by using cut sections of inner tube to ensure water was not sprayed by the rear wheels - an acute problem faced by other Carisma owners at the time. I was so pleased to see this car still being loved (I sold it when I worked in Taiwan for a number of years). I hope it finds another loving home

Hello.
I like the look of the carisma but you haven`t said what price you are looking for. I have watched these for years but they don`t generally hold their price very well. This seems to have been for sale for a very long time so I am guessing you are wanting too much.
