A predecessor to Jaguar, SS cars (for the company name, Swallow Sidecar) were built from 1931–1940. SS1, the first model, with an underslung chassis, long bonnet and streamlined coachwork, was based on the 16 hp Standard.
This attractive SS1 fixed-head coupé has been recently painted in a lush green hue. The leather seats show slight patination, and there are minor imperfections to the brightwork. The dashboard has original Jaeger metric instruments. Early SS Jaguars are very desirable motor cars and this is a particularly handsome example.
SS (der stod for firmanavnet, Swallow Sidecar), der var en forløber for Jaguar, blev lavet fra 1931-1940. SS1, den første model, med underhængende chassis, lang kølerhjelm og strømlinet karosseri, var baseret på standarden med 16 hestekræfter.
Denne attraktive SS1 Fixed-Head coupé er for nylig blevet malet i en luksuriøs grøn nuance. Lædersæderne viser lettere patinering, og der er mindre fejl på de blanke dele. Instrumentbrættet har originale metriske Jaeger-instrumenter. Tidlige SS Jaguarer er meget eftertragtede biler, og denne er et særligt flot eksemplar.
