Jaguar 100 3\u00bd Litre<\/h1>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><span id=\"intelliTXT\">The quintessential pre-war British sports car is the 1936 S.S. Jaguar 100 also known simply as the SS100. These diminutive roadsters have all the hallmarks of a competitive racecar as well as an attractive body built at a high level of craftsmanship. It was also one of the first models to carry the Jaguar nameplate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When the 3\u00bd Litre first came onto the market, Jaguar was no newcomer to the industry. They had built a series of Tourers based on parts from the Standard Motor Company&#8217;s bin. This included the 2\u00bd Litre 100 which was named after it&#8217;s theoretical top speed of 100 mph. It didn&#8217;t always break the 100 mph barrier, so that&#8217;s was a job for the new 3\u00bd engine.<\/p>\n<p>At Jaguar, the decision was taken to have Bill Heynes and Harry Weslake redesign the Standard Six into a capable 125 bhp unit. They increased both the bore and stroke from 2663.7cc to 3485cc. The effect was a drastic boost in performance which trumped the 2\u00bd on almost every level. Additionally a new transmission, driveshaft, and differential were also fitted.<\/p>\n<p>The high level of specification included Lucas de Luxe large diameter headlights, 15-inch Dunlop Splined Center Lock wheels and rod-operated drum brakes by Girling that could be operated either with the pedal or hand brake. Jaguar described the body as a \u201crigid le Mans 2-seater\u201d which had a some room behind the front seats for luggage.<\/p>\n<p>The competitive nature of car naturally meant it was seen occasionally with racing numbers at circuits like Brooklands, the Shelsley Walsh and many international rally courses.<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a3445, around 115 of the 3\u00bd Litre &#8220;100&#8221; were produced. These are the most sought after of all prewar Jaguars.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1938_SSJaguar_1003Litre1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1938_SSJaguar_1003Litre1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"1938 S.S.
