  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.
