Reply to: SS100 I believe that "SS" stood for "Swallow Sidecars". Motorcycle sidecars were their first product. After 1939 a small global event took place, which interrupted civilian motorcar production for five years or so. After this event, the initials "SS" seemed inappropriate for a company trying to sell anything to anybody. So they changed it to "Jaguar". - Jerry |
