At their next auction, on September 13 in Buxton, Derbyshire, H&H will be selling one of five prototype Silverstones. Chassis X2 was then transformed into the first production car (chassis D1).
JAC 100 was driven on the 1949 Alpine Rally by Donald Healey and Ian Appleyard, where the Silverstone won its class, finished second overall and was the first British car home. In August of the same year, it was one of three works Silverstones entered for the International Trophy meeting at the circuit that inspired its name. It finished fifth in class with Tommy Wisdom at the wheel and in doing so secured the team prize for Healey.
It was then retired from its works competition duties and turned into a press demonstrator, thereby featuring in the Autocar, Motor and Motor Sport magazines of the time and the Daily Mail. Roy Salvadori then briefly owned JAC 100 before it was sold to N H Yates who subsequently raced it at Goodwood on a number of occasions.
The car is said to be in very good overall condition and is estimated to fetch £80,000-90,000.
