  • 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.

  • Climax - an Engine to Be Proud Of
    Lotus Components Climax - An engine to be proud of The Coventry Climax company has some fascinating history having, in 1903, made, not only motor cars but, engines for car, boats and generating sets. In 1914 some of their earliest engines powered the sledges that Ernest Shackleton used on the British expedition to Antartica. During the Great War, the company made a variety of generating sets for military purposes, particularly for search lights. Between the two world wars many thousands of their engines, both petrol and diesel, were used to power British cars and lorries and during World War II Coventry Climax 'Godiva' trailer fire pumps became the standard equipment specified by the British Government. An enlarged version of 1098cc was built known as the FWA ('A' being for automotive) which produced 71 bhp at 6,000 rpm. The first of these engines was finished just in time to be fitted to a Kieft sports-racing car entered in the Le Mans 24 hour race of 1954. Although the car retired after some 10 \ hours with a seized rear axle, the new engine performed well upto that point. In the following September the engine proved it's worth in the same car by winning the llOOcc class of the RAC Tourist Trophy race. By this time more racing car constructors including Cooper and Lotus ordered FWA engines which by 1955 had been developed to produce 75 bhp at 6,000 rpm. These engines were very soon successful, collecting 69 firsts, 49 seconds and 42 third places in 98 events. Also Twelve International Class 'G' records were broken at Montlhery by a Cooper with a FWA engine, including the one-hour record at 125.34 mph.

  • P.1 of 23 2Nd Naturally-Aspirated Era (2NA): 1952 – 1982: 31 Years
    P.1 of 23 2nd Naturally-Aspirated Era (2NA): 1952 – 1982: 31 years. Part 3. 1961 – 1965; Egs. 40 to 44 The 1.5L NA Formula; 1961 – 1965 Because of the belief of some delegates to the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) that 2.5L NA cars were becoming too fast, that sub-section of the FIA in October 1958 agreed by a majority vote (excluding the nations actually building Grand Prix cars!) to limit GP engine swept volume to a maximum of 1.5L NA from 1st January 1961 through 1964 (extended later through 1965). They were to run on the best automobile fuel then available commercially (defined later as 102 Research Octane Number (102RON) (see “The Sporting Limits", Table 1, n.8)). This fuel quality limit remained in place in the letter but not in practice to the end of the period under review in this work. In other words, the 1957 Formula 2-size engines were promoted to Grand Prix Formula 1 status, as had happened before (1926; 1946; (from Voiturette rules); 1952 by default when Alfa Romeo withdrew). A minimum car weight rule of 500kg was also added with oil and water but without fuel or driver. This was later reduced to 450kg (unballasted) after furious protests by British constructors. The new formula was contrary to the wishes of all the British and of Ferrari, who would have preferred an extension of the 2.5L NA rules. The former then tried for some time to persuade race organisers to adopt a 3L “Intercontinental” formula, hoping for US participation* but with only a slight success in the UK in 1961 as it turned out.

  • The Legacy of Sir William Lyons (1922-1985)
    The legacy of Sir William Lyons (1922-1985) The story begins in the early 1920s in Blackpool, England. William Walmsley was building motorcycle sidecars when he met his young neighbour – and fellow motorcycle enthusiast – William Lyons. With their shared passion for motorcycles, it was logical step for the pair to go into business together. In 1922, shortly after Lyons‟ 21st birthday, they founded the Swallow Sidecar Company, selling Walmsley‟s hand-built designs which were distinguished by their beautiful streamlined shape. Above: William Walmsley (left) and a young William Lyons (right) together with their sidecar Business boomed, and the company expanded, adding car body repairs alongside their sidecar business, before expanding into building car bodies (and changing its name to Swallow Sidecar and Coachbuilding Company) which were bolted onto the chassis of existing models like the Austin Seven (1927) and later, the Fiat Tipo 509A (1929). In 1927, now firmly established as a coachbuilder, the company dropped „Sidecar‟ from its name to become simply Swallow Coachbuilding Company and the following year, with business prospering, and needing to be closer to England‟s automotive hub, the company moved to larger premises in Coventry. In 1931, Swallow launched two new models, the SS I and SS II, built on a chassis made by The Standard Motor Company, with competitive pricing, despite their premium styling. In 1934, co-founder Walmsley left the company, leaving Lyons at the helm. He renamed it S.S. Cars (Standard Swallow) and created an engineering department, hiring a talented young engineer, William Heynes, to oversee the development of new models.

  • Walter 'Wally' Hassan
    Walter 'Wally' Hassan Jaguar Cars was fortunate to employ several engineers of note and one of the most gifted was Walter Hassan. Walter Thomas Frederick Wally Hassan was born in North London on 25 April 1905, his father kept a clothes emporium in Holloway and the young Hassan would often visit the shop. An uncle was keen on making model ships and Wally was fascinated by the process. From an early age he showed a natural aptitude for mechanical things and his model-ship-building uncle encouraged him to learn about engineering. Wally was enrolled at the Northern Polytechnic in Walter 'Wally' Hassan Hackney, near to the family home, to study engineering among other subjects. This Polytechnic was rebranded as the London Metropolitan University in recent times. Bentley Motors Hassan excelled in his studies and obtained his first job as a fifteen-year-old with W.O. Bentley who had only recently built his first Bentley motorcar and was gearing up for production; Hassan was employee No. 14. Initially, he started work as a fitter in the engine shop before moving on to the chassis shop, thus gaining a complete experience of the 3-litre cars then in production. Hassan was a valuable employee and was well thought of by Bentley who encouraged the boy to learn all aspects of the Bentley cars. Hassan moved on to road testing work under Frank Clement, then the head of experimental department and Bentley's professional racing driver. Wally even rode as the mechanic in some races and when not racing he was part of the Bentley Motors service department.
