Dash looks a bit like an MG TC but bonnet a tad long. The fact that it is an Automatic , tells me it is some kind of Kit Car or customised build?
Don't know but there's a nametag on the dash that I enlarged and it says 1955 Jaguar SS 100
OK , then it is a Kit Car or Reproduction . The genuine article was made up until 1940 . The 100 stood for it's top speed . The XK120 came out with the new twin cam motor in 1948. Set a new Standard.
Must admit that Replica is really something!
