  • 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review
    1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review The year was 1935 when the Jaguar brand first leapt out of the factory gates. Founded in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company by William Lyons and William Walmsley, both were motorcycle enthusiasts and the company manufactured motorcycle sidecars and automobile bodies. Walmsley was rather happy with the company’s modest success and saw little point in taking risks by expanding the firm. He chose to spend more and more time plus company money on making parts for his model railway instead. Lyons bought him out with a public stock offering and became the sole Managing Director in 1935. The company was then renamed to S.S. Cars Limited. After Walmsley had left, the first car to bear the Jaguar name was the SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon released in September 1935. The 2.5l Saloon was one of the most distinctive and beautiful cars of the pre-war era, with its sleek, low-slung design. It needed a new name to reflect these qualities, one that summed up its feline grace and elegance with such a finely-tuned balance of power and agility. The big cat was chosen, and the SS Jaguar perfectly justified that analogy. A matching open-top two-seater called the SS Jaguar 100 (named 100 to represent the theoretical top speed of 100mph) with a 3.5 litre engine was also available. www.themodelcarcritic.com | 1 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1935 SS Jaguar 2.5l Saloon www.themodelcarcritic.com | 2 1:18 CMC Jaguar C-Type Review 1936 SS Jaguar 100 On 23rd March 1945, the shareholders took the initiative to rename the company to Jaguar Cars Limited due to the notoriety of the SS of Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

There were three new engine op$ons. The 2.4 litre was increased in ower to 120bh , the 3.4 litre to 210bh and the 3.8 litre had 220bh .

  • Tony Gaze Interview
    Inter View Tony Gaze As if plucked straight from an edition of “Boy’s Own Annual” Tony Gaze competed at Brooklands in the ’30s, flew a Spitfire during World War II, raced in Formula One and sports cars during the 1950s and eventually went on to represent Australia in gliding. Our Australian correspondent, Patrick Quinn, caught up with him at his appropriately named Goodwood Farm to recall some of his colorful past. You certainly have done some amazing things, Tony. When were you first interested in motor vehicles? Gaze: I was fascinated by them when I was a kid. I was at Cambridge before the war and took a letter from the Light Car Club of Australia to the Junior Car Club. Borrowing my uncles’ English-bodied Hudson, I drove over to what I thought was a Brooklands’ club meeting. Everybody was there from the likes of Fane, Wakefield and Peter Whitehead. Being a beginner, I had to have a passenger to tell when the faster cars were coming up behind along the banking. We didn’t get very far due to fuel vaporizing as the fuel pipe ran alongside the exhaust. Later in the Motor or Autocar it said that the other American car, a Terraplane, was flagged off and they were thinking of flagging me president of the Junior Car Club and looking for a replacement for off as well for dangerous driving. Brooklands. I heard they were looking at airfields and I said, When the war came I bought a J2 MG and an Alvis for my “Don’t be silly, he’s got one.” Then someone said “Go and tell brother, who came over from Australia.
