Founded by William Lyons, bringing new style
to Swallow sidecars, then manufacturing a
series of special bodies for more common vehicles
such as the Austin Seven, the Fiat Tipo 509A,
the Standard 9 and the Standard 16. Lyons
joined forces with William Walmsley, naming
their new business SS Cars, the most famous
being the 1935 SS90 and SS100. Used Jaguar
as a model designation for its saloons and
drop-head coupes.
Struggled for a time after
World War 2, never again making the famous
SS100. Released the awesome XK120 Roadster
at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the company
now opting to use the Jaguar name exclusively
given the sinister connotations of SS following
the war. Continued through the 1950's, 60's
and 70's to build some of the most desirable
and collectable sports cars and saloons around.

1936
While not pioneering any technical innovation that characterised
the post-war Jaguar models, no one could deny the SS100's
fine performance, handling, styling, build quality and
competitive price. More>> |

1948 - 1951
At the 1948 Motor Show, Jaguar was to unveil both the
Mk. V and XK 120 - the first new design post war Jaguars.
The Mk. V was available with either a 2.5 litre or 3.5
litre engine, the smaller capacity 2.5 being the "entry"
model for the Mk V range. More>> |

1948 - 1954
Designed to be a low-volume dream car rather than a high
production motor car, the Jaguar XK120/140/150 became
an overnight sensation and highly profitable. More>> |
|
|
1954 - 1957
The new Jaguar XK140 featured similar body pressings as the XK120, but the doors were now 3 inches longer as the engine, bulkhead and windscreen had been moved forward to improve the interior space. More>> |
|
|
1955 - 1957
Although Jaguar were to leave racing at the end of 1956,
private teams would continue to enjoy success driving
the D-Type. At the 1957 Le Mans, D-Types were to finish
first, second, third, fourth and sixth! A great success,
but without the arch rival Mercedes Benz perhaps not terribly
suprising. More>> |

|
1956 - 1959
The 1956 - 1959 Jaguar Mark VIII was a slightly heavier replacement for the Mark VII/VIIM sedans. It featured minor styling changes and more power, but was otherwise the same. More>> |
|
|
1957 - 1960
The interior of the XK150 featured walnut veneer on the dashboard, while mechanically one of the main changes were the Dunlop disc brakes now fitted both ends, replacing the previous disc/drum setup. More>> |
|
|
1961 - 1970
This car still holds the title as being the broadest British
production saloon being 1.93 metres across its rear. It
offered independent suspension and power-steering and
was half the price of its rivals. More>> |
|
|
1961 - 1975
The Mk. II was the last proper sports saloon made by Jaguar
and became somewhat of a 60's icon. Quiet, comfortable
and stately in appearance, under the Mk. II bonet lay
an eager and impressive motor capable of 201 km/h in 3.8
litre form. More>> |
|
|
1961 - 1975
This car was arguably the most beautiful sportscar of
the 1960's with its cool aerodynamics and unashamed showmanship.

|
1967
Although the Bertone Jaguar Pirana was never intended to be more than a concept car, it was a fully functioning vehicle worthy of supercar status, and more importantly was completed in record time using parts already available courtesy of an E-Type donor car. More>> |
|
|
1968 - 1987
The XJ6 was launched in 1968 with a design that boasted
ride comfort, quietness and great road-handling. It was
a front-engined, rear-wheel drive, coil-sprung saloon
and had a ride that was softer and quieter than a Rolls
Royce. More>> |
|
|
1975 - 1991
Launched as the replacement for the E-type in 1975, and
available in either coupe or convertible format, the XJ-S
is now getting the recognition it deserves. More>> |
