Images and Descriptions

SS Jaguar 2.5-litre

The quintessential SS Jaguar, this model combined graceful pre-war styling with a potent six-cylinder engine. This was the car that truly established the brand’s “grace, pace, and space” identity and is a hallmark of 1930s British automotive design.

SS Jaguar 100 2.5-litre

A legendary two-seat sports car renowned for its stunning looks and performance. Capable of exceeding 100 mph, it was a competitive machine in its day. It is easily identified by its long bonnet, cut-down doors, and minimalist, purely sporting intent.

SS Jaguar 1.5-litre

The entry-level model offered the same elegant saloon styling as its bigger siblings but with a more economical four-cylinder engine. It provided access to the prestigious Jaguar look and feel for a wider audience, making it a popular choice.

SS Jaguar 3.5-litre

Introduced late in 1937, this was the new range-topper. It used a powerful new 3.5-litre engine that gave it true 100 mph capability, positioning it as a direct competitor to high-end marques like Bentley and Alvis.

SS Jaguar 100 3.5-litre

Launched in late 1937 for the 1938 model year, this was the ultimate evolution of the SS 100. The larger engine provided a significant power boost, making it one of the fastest and most desirable British sports cars of the pre-war era.

SS Jaguar 2.5-litre

This model offered the performance of the 2.5-litre saloon with the added luxury of an elegant, three-position convertible top. It was a more refined and weather-proof open-air option compared to the spartan SS 100 roadster.

SS Jaguar 1.5-litre

A rare and stylish open-top version of the smaller saloon. Combining the handsome Jaguar lines with a convertible body made it a very attractive, though less powerful, option for discerning buyers seeking a more exclusive car.

SS Jaguar 2.5-litre

An extremely rare, factory-built four-seat open tourer based on the saloon’s chassis. With its fully disappearing top and sporting lines, it is one of the most sought-after and seldom-seen of all pre-war SS Jaguar models.
