Recorded originAustralia
ClassTwo-seat roadster
Built2 units
Rockingham-built continuation of the British Shapecraft Birchfield Sports, individually constructed to customer order around a dedicated steel-tube chassis clad in hand-formed aluminum and styled after the 1937 SS Jaguar 100. Founder Nicky Lotay brought Shapecraft drawings and British car number 18 to Western Australia as the production pattern. The Sports name is retained as the model identity; SS100 describes its inspiration, not manufacture by Jaguar.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
At least two Australian cars were complete by 2004 and two more were then under construction; the value records completed production only, not the 18 British predecessor cars.
