The
Jaguar SS100 was a sports car produced from 1936 to 1940 by
SS Cars Ltd based in Coventry, England.
The company name of 'SS' was changed to Jaguar after the end
of the Second World War due to the association with the infamous
German military unit.

2.5 litre in-line six cylinder engine capable of producing 100
horsepower. Later on in the SS100's production life, 1938 -
1940, the engine was upgraded to a 3.5 litre unit developing
125 horsepower.
The Jaguar SS100 featured a 4 speed manual gearbox with synchromesh
on gears 2, 3 and 4.
Only 314 Jaguar SS100s were produced in total, of these only
