Jaguar SS 3.5 Litre
The SS Jaguar 3.5 Litre (1938–1940) was the crowning achievement of William Lyons' pre-war SS Cars company — the most powerful and luxurious Jaguar before World War II. Capable of 160 km/h from its 125 PS engine, it offered Bentley-rivalling performance at less than half the price. Production was halted by the outbreak of war, making surviving examples extraordinarily rare.
