Talk:SS Jaguar 100

Untitled
There is a kit car company that produces very faithful replicas but which are based on the chassis and running gear of the rather more obtainable XJ6, should the article mention that? 86.154.37.35 (talk) 13:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Jaguar SS100 → SS Jaguar 100 – The correct make and model is SS Jaguar 100, therefore, according to WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions, the article title should be SS Jaguar 100. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 15:40, 8 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Support as proposer. The car was made by SS Cars Ltd. and was known as the SS Jaguar 100. There was never a "Jaguar SS" brand or model. The brand/marque/make/whatever was either "SS" or "SS Jaguar" before the war and "Jaguar" afterwards. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 15:40, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sincerely, SamBlob I think that you are right that a change is due but, as far as I can see, its not so much one of the Jaguar cars but an SS car that used a Jaguar motor. As per the reference what do you think of ~"SS 100 Jaguar Coupe"? "SS 100, Jaguar Coupe"?  GregKaye 00:01, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Mr. Kaye: First of all, only one coupé, the prototype, was built. All the production SS Jaguar 100s were open tourers, or roadsters as Americans would call them. Second, the engine was made by the Standard Motor Company exclusively for SS Cars. There was no such entity as Jaguar at the time; SS Cars called their cars "SS Jaguar" after 1935. SS Cars became Jaguar Cars after the War and then Jaguar Cars bought the rights and tooling for Standard's six-cylinder engine for use in the "Mark IV" and Mark V saloons. The SS Jaguar 100 was not revived after the War; Jaguar developed the XK120 instead. Based on this information, which can be verified (Culshaw & Horrobin's "Standard Catalogue of British Cars" and Graham Robson's "Book of the Standard Motor Company " come to mind...), you can probably understand why I cannot accept your suggestion.

 * Sincerely, SamBlob to tell you the truth a lot of that went right over my head. I drive a van.  But even from that handicapped starting position I can see its not a jag so, AFG, I support.  GregKaye 06:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
