History of XK Part 1.Pdf
The SS90 was a British sports car first built by SS Cars Ltd in Coventry, England in 1935. In 1945 the company changed its name to Jaguar Cars Ltd. The car used a six-cylinder side-valve Standard engine of 2663 cc with an output of 68 bhp (51 kW). The engine differed from the one used in the ordinary cars by having Dural connecting rods, an aluminium cylinder head with 7:1 compression ratio, and twin RAG carburettors. At 8 feet 8 inches (2.64 m) in length the chassis was a shortened version of the one used on the SS 1, and was also supplied by Standard. Suspension was by half-elliptical springs all round, with an underslung back axle. The braking system was Bendix. The cars rapidly gained attention for their elegant sporting styling, but were not well regarded by the sporting fraternity as their performance did not match their appearance. True sports car performance had to wait for the SS 100, which had similar styling and suspension but an engine fitted with an overhead-valve cylinder head. The SS 90 does not seem to have been tested independently by any magazines, therefore contemporary performance figures are unknown, but it was widely believed to be capable of reaching 90 mph (140 km/h). In 1932 the basic tourer cost £395. Twenty-three were made. The car was 12 feet 6 inches (3.81 m) long and 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m) wide and weighed typically 2,519.9 pounds (1,143.0 kg).[1] The prototype SS 90, ARW395, was owned by Hugh Kennard from 1938 until at least November 1940. -

Jaguar A HISTORY OF GRACE AND PACE By Anders Ditlev Clausager he maxims adopted by automobile manufacturers are an amusing byway of automotive history. They Twere intended to convey what we now call the brand image. A few well-chosen words could become instantly recognizable and memorable, forever associ - ated with a particular marque. Famous examples in the United States were “Ask the Man Who Owns One” for Packard, and “Standard of the World” for Cadillac. In Britain, Rolls-Royce was “The Best Car in the World” and MG stood for “Safety Fast!” In present times, Audi’s “Vorsprung durch Technik” is internationally recognized. Jaguar, too, has had a number of similar mottos. The classic has to be “Grace... Space… Pace,” which was used through - out the 1950s and 1960s. Today, we describe Jaguars simply as “Beautiful Fast Cars,” which I suppose is a kind of post - modernist version of the original slogan, still containing synonyms for “Grace” and “Pace”—I am not quite sure what happened to the “Space.” The London Motor Show, held in 1948 at the Earls Court, was the venue for the first public showing of the Jaguar XK 120. 3 Left: A 1938 SS Jaguar 100, the first time that Jaguar matched the name of a car to its top speed of 100 mph.
