1935 Jaguar SS90 The SS90 was the first true sports car produced by Jaguar.There were only 23 examples produced before the SS 100 was built.
This S.S. 90 prototype was built by William Lyons at the soon-to-be-renamed Jaguar factory as an experimental short wheelbase model with a standard in-line 2.6-liter, 6-cylinder engine producing around 90 bhp. The shortened chassis is based on a modified SS1 design. Production of the S.S. 90 started in 1935 adn around 25 cars were built before the appearance of the much more successful SS100 Jaguar. This prototype is easily distinguished by its sweeping rear bodywork, which was shortened for production. This car made its first appearance in the hands of Brian Lewis at the RAC Rally in 1935. It later appeared at the 1935 Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. In 1938, it was owned by Hugh Kennard, a serving RAF Spitfire pilot stationed at Duxford, north of London during the Second World War. After several owners the car was bought by its current owner who had it restored.
