Notify on availabilityWhile there were 1,065 3.5-litre saloons, 241 drophead coupés and 118 open two-seaters built before World War II, closed coupés are much rarer, and except for one SS 100 built by Jaguar itself, they were almost exclusively custom-coachbuilt to special order.
Such is the case with this elegant coupé (chassis no. 30182), which was shipped as a bare saloon chassis to Hermann Graber at Wichtrach, near Berne, Switzerland, in May 1938.
Graber fitted this SS saloon chassis with a two-door, two-window, five-seat coupé body for one Monsieur Michel Dionisotti of Geneva. Fitted with two pull-down occasional seats at the rear, it was also equipped with a door for skis. Dionisotti paid 2,000 CHF on 10 June and was invoiced the balance of 4,200 CHF on 22 August, 1938. The car was ultimately dispatched to Grand Garage in Switzerland.
This rare Graber Coupé is a unique masterpiece of elegance, embodying the sporting design of its coachbuilder with the performance to match.
