1939 SS Jaguar 1

SS Cars was a British manufacturer of sports saloon cars from 1934 From September 1935 their new models displayed a new name SS Jaguar.

S. S. Cars Limited changed its name to Jaguar Cars Limited on 23 March 1945

The first of the SS range of cars available to the public was the 1932 SS 1 with 2-litre or 2½-litre side-valve, six-cylinder engine and the SS 2 with a four-cylinder 1-litre side-valve engine

In 1938, saloon and drophead production moved from wood framed to all steel and a 3½-litre engine was added to the range. A new 1½-litre introduced in 1938 used the same body shell as the six-cylinder cars but on a shorter chassis and its new larger 1776 cc engine had overhead valves.

This SS 1939 Jaguar 1½-litre has been subject to major recommissioning works. It is believed that the car has been in long‑term ownership since the 1960’s. The history file contains buff log book, MoTs dating from 1960 and 1963, owner’s handbook and various documents dating from the 1960’s.
