Here are some pix of our Duke. 1. A promo picture of it from the Barrett-Jackson auction. Don't know what Dream Machines refers to or what the price is based on. Nobody paid anywhere near that. Also, they listed it as a '39 but the picture shows '37. 2. Front view of Jag after clean-up and new tires. 3. Rear view. Someone mentioned putting a classic suitcase on the rack. I couldn't find one at the thrift shops but did find this aluminum covered replica trunk pretty cheap. Don't know if it adds or detracts from the overall look? 4. On a whim, I entered the Jag in a local car show last summer. I got a 2nd place ribbon in the "exotics" class. ... this is the one that got the 1st place trophy Kind of hard to top that. Just a couple of things I have noticed. Regarding clearance and body height, the distance from ground to lowest point on the bottom of a running board on my car is 8" on the driver side and 8 3/4" on the pass. side. Gotta check why the difference. I have seen three different sizes of headlight "can" housings on replicas. Mine are medium size, 9 1/2" OD. Some are old single large headlamp size and some are huge, like 12" diam.

At least according to a Classic Roadsters magazine ad from...late 80's? "The Duke -- inspired by the 1939 Jaguar SS-100"
