can anyone tell me if this is a real jag? if so what year? etc older lady owes me money and wants to give me this as even swap. is it worth anything? TIA

 

Looks like some sort of replica (kit) car to me and not a vintage Jaguar. Those modern profile wheels, VW tail-lamps and rack-and-pinion steering are instant give-aways.

 

Definitely not a Jaguar ! It is a "special" designed to look like a 1930s car, which may have Jaguar parts in it, like front and rear suspension and engine/gearbox. If you can get a photo of the engine compartment it would help, also a pic of the front and rear suspensions, and the interior, especially the dash panel.

Cars like this are still made, and here is an example: -

Another company called "Adams" also made replicas some years ago

Also have a look through the photos on here: -

Of course, if it was a real SS100 it would be worth a fortune, but it ain't, so value won't be all that much.

 

I have seen one and it's a fiberglass body on a 1970's Mustang II chassis and I think has the Ford 2.3 4 cylinder. I don't believe there is anything Jaguar in it, it's a complete replica. Not sure how it would be registered or insured. Kit car perhaps? Probably not worth much and a tough sell I would imagine.

I saw one in perfect shape when through Barrett Jackson for $7800, so consider that an upper limit. As it stands now ( does it even run?) my guess it's probably worth $500 tops, or whatever you can part it out for.

 

Volkswagen power? Seen them in the St. Louis area up to $7500 in decent shape. Ford 4cyl in good shape $10,000, just a kit.
