1931 SS Jaguar

This fantastic first edition of the famous Jaguar began as the optimistic dream of a young 20 year old entrepreneur named William Lyons that had started building side cars for motorcycles that he named as the Swallow sidecars. When he was able to enlarge his business and start making full size cars this was his first production model. With his keen eye for design and beauty and untiring energy he designed and built this car that immediately sold out the orders that were delivered and created a huge backlog of orders waiting to be filled. At that time Lyons just had himself and one partner helping him to build these cars and production was very slow.
