Jaguar predecessor the SS (Standard Swallow Cars Limited). Forerunner of the marque ‘Jaguar’ from SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, the SS1 predated yet epitomized the later advertising slogan, ‘Grace, Space, Pace.’ ‘SS’ originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & Coach building Company, which had been founded in Blackpool, England by William Walmsley in 1922. The company branched out into motor manufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractive sports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis. The design was the work of Walmsley’s partner, William Lyons, whose future Jaguar creations would confirm his reputation as one of the British motor industry’s most gifted stylists. Relocation to Coventry followed and the Swallow range expanded to include models on Morris Cowley, Wolseley Hornet and Standard Sixteen chassis. Marque status arrived in October 1931 with the launch of the SS1, a close-coupled coupé. Based on that of the Standard design 16hp, the SS1’s low, under-slung chassis was designed by Lyons and supplied exclusively to Swallow by Standard, which also provided the 2.1/2.6-litre six-cylinder side valve engine and four-speed gearbox. Lyons’ design for the body was startling: the SS1’s excessively long bonnet, tiny passenger compartment and helmet-type front wings suggesting that it represented the ultimate in high performance. In so doing, the SS1 went some way towards establishing the pattern for future Jaguars, combining sporting good looks with a better-than-average specification and all at a bargain price. Indeed, so successful was Lyons’ new venture that production of Swallow-bodied cars ceased altogether in 1933 and SS Cars Limited was formed, initially as a subsidiary of the Swallow sidecar-building business. The SS1 body style was revised for 1933 and the engines up-rated with alloy cylinder heads and improved manifold, advances that raised the top speed to 75mph. For 1934 the SS1 gained a new wide-track chassis and slightly enlarged Standard engines of 2,143cc and 2,663cc, while the body now available in four different configurations. This being the rarest and most desirable of the four designs. A brief history of this car 1935 SSI four seat Tourer the predecessor to the SS100.
