Jaguar, 1938-48 but no production during WW2. As it's export, and the detailed view is weak, I will throw a guess at 3 1/2 litre. |

The SS name was dropped in 1945, the cars becoming just “Jaguar”. |

1945? I thought much earlier, at least on the SS 100. |

^ No. “The SS (Swallow Sidecar) Company produced “Jaguar” models before the war (WW2), but it was only after 1945 that Lyons changed its name.” Sedgwick and Gillies - A-Z of Cars 1945-1970. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_Cars “On 23rd March 1945.........” I am surprised that you would think that I had made such a statement without first looking up its veracity. Before anyone else says it, the older I get, the scratchier I get, aided by a bottle of Aldi Rioja Reserva. -- Last edit: 2019-06-02 20:12:08 |

I have never heard about Jaguar before the war. But 1947 and 1948 models were found easily, at least before they caught fire. The same for MK V and Mk VII. But after 1957 imports were reduced drastically because the national production. |
