Interesting Facts About the Jaguar SS 100

The Jaguar SS 100 was produced from 1936 until 1939 and quickly earned a reputation for its superb handling and elegant styling. With only 198 of the 2½‑liter versions built before World War II, it remains one of the rarest pre‑war British sports cars.

Limited Production Run

Between 1936 and 1939 Jaguar built a total of 314 SS 100s, of which 198 were the 2½‑liter models. The scarcity of these pre‑war examples contributes to their high collector value today.

Engine Evolution and Consistent Styling

The SS 100 lineage began with the SS 90 in 1935, progressed to the 2.5‑litre SS 100 in 1936, and culminated in a 3.5‑litre version introduced in 1938. Despite the power‑train upgrades, the exterior design remained essentially unchanged throughout the series.

Rally Success in the Late 1930s

Jaguar’s 3.5‑litre SS 100s proved competitive on the European stage, earning rally championships in the late 1930s and cementing the model’s reputation for performance as well as style.
