About the Jaguar SS 100 Red Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS 100 wears red bodywork, recreating the 1937 roadster built by SS Cars, the company name Jaguar carried before rebranding after the Second World War. Long-bonnet vintage styling and diecast construction suit a pre-war British sports car display.

Before there was Jaguar, there was SS Cars, and the SS 100 stands as one of the company's most celebrated pre-war designs, a fast, elegant roadster built years before the name we know today ever existed.

SS Cars, the Jaguar Name, and Britain's Pre-War Sports Car Scene

SS Cars built the SS 100 in the years before the Second World War, and the model quickly earned a reputation for combining genuine performance with striking style at a price ordinary enthusiasts could actually reach, unlike some of its more exclusive rivals. That accessibility, paired with the car's long bonnet and flowing wings, made the SS 100 one of the most desirable British sports cars of the late 1930s. Everything changed after the war, when SS Cars dropped its original name entirely, since the initials carried uncomfortable associations with the German Schutzstaffel that the company had no wish to be linked with. From that point forward the company traded as Jaguar, a name that would go on to define one of Britain's most respected car brands, but the SS 100 remains a genuine piece of that earlier, differently-named chapter.

Bburago's Diecast Rendering of a Pre-War Roadster

Bburago's rendering keeps the SS 100's defining proportions intact: a bonnet that stretches well ahead of the cabin, sweeping front wings, and a low, purposeful stance that made the original car look fast even standing still. The red paintwork sits cleanly across those simple pre-war curves, and the diecast metal body delivers genuine weight in the hand, the kind of solidity that separates a proper diecast from a lightweight toy. Wire-style wheels and a straightforward but recognisable cabin round out the package, and while panel gaps run a touch wider than costlier alternatives, the overall silhouette reads unmistakably as a 1930s British roadster rather than a generic vintage shape. Even at this accessible price point, the proportions alone communicate the confidence that made the SS 100 such a desirable design in period.

Tracing British Motoring History from the Shelf

Placed at the start of a British motoring chronology, this SS 100 predates the Jaguar name itself, giving collectors a genuine glimpse of the company's roots before its post-war rebrand. Diecast pricing keeps that pre-war chapter affordable to add to a wider Jaguar display.
