I think some of the earlier ones (like the SS 100 and maybe this one) used Jaguar as the model name and not the make name. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Jaguar cars could give accurate dates for the various make and model names used by this company.

However I cannot say I'm convinced its a SS Jaguar. Compared to those already listed, the top of the radiator is too flat, the bumper and headlights look different to me, also the shape of the windscreen top rail is too curved. /vehicle_96451-SS-11-2-Litre-Saloon-1938.html But if its not a Jaguar, what other saloon it could be I'm not sure. -- Last edit: 2007-07-11 20:47:31
