SS100 Jaguar - 47f |
|
| The SS100 was a British 2 seat
sports car built between 1936 and 1940 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry,
England. The last one is thought to have been delivered in 1941. In 1936
the name Jaguar was given to a new saloon car and from then on to all
the cars. Following World War II, due to the connotations then attached
to the initials SS, the company was renamed Jaguar. In the case of the
car SS stood for Swallow Sports, the name of the side-car maker from
which the company grew. Right at the end of the life of the Lesney brand they brought out a small range of classic and vintage cars; Model A Ford, Citroen Traction Avant, Willys Coupe etc and among them was this Jaguar SS from the mid 30s. It looks like the lines between the 1-75 range and Models of Yesteryear was beginning to blur slightly. This same car also appears in MOY. The car is seen in all over red, silver with a grey bonnet, green with a red bonnet and blue with a white bonnet. I've not seen any evidence to suggest that any one version is harder to find or worth more than any other. The silver/grey version is from a gift set which also contains an XJ40, an XJ220, an XK150 and a DAF articulated race support truck in Jaguar racing livery. Scroll down for more.... |
