SS Jaguar 100

What is your favourite car of all time?

William Lyons and William Walmsley set up the Swallow Sidecar Company in 1922 to manufacture sidecars for motorcycles. However, Lyons' flair as a body-stylist soon found expression in the Swallow-bodied Austin 7 and this was followed by a succession of motorcars based upon mechanical components made by Standard. SS Cars, as it became known in 1935, never looked back and was renamed Jaguar Cars Limited in 1945. Produced between 1935 and 1939, the SS Jaguar 100 has become one of the world's most classic sports cards. Capable of 100mph (hence "100") the model was fitted with a 2.7 litre six-cylinder engine (3.5 from Autumn '37). It represented a beautiful and reliable touring two-seater with graceful lines. An important car for Jaguar, the SS 100 is now legendary.
