Jaguar SS 100 Roadster Green Bburago 1:18 3006 Diecast
1 / 8
Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS 100 wears deep Green over the long-bonneted roadster silhouette that established Jaguar's sporting reputation before the Second World War. Flowing wings, a low-slung two-seat cockpit and the distinctive round headlamps translate well to diecast, offering an accessible way into pre-war British motoring on any vintage-themed shelf.

About the Jaguar SS 100 Roadster Green Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS 100 reproduces the 1937 pre-war roadster in Green, its long bonnet, flowing wings and round headlamps rendered in accessible zinc alloy construction. An entry-tier way to add SS Cars' formative sporting model to a vintage British motoring display.

Before the Jaguar name even existed on cars sold to the public in its modern form, the SS 100 established the long-bonnet, low-cockpit formula the marque would return to for decades.

Bburago's Reading of a Pre-War Roadster

At this price, Bburago casts the SS 100 in zinc alloy with the flowing front wings and cutaway doors moulded as one continuous sweep, which suits the car's pre-war coachbuilt look better than a heavily panelled modern casting would. Wire-style wheels and the exposed spare tyre mounted low on the tail read convincingly at a glance, though fine spoke detail is simplified rather than individually cast. The folding hood sits fixed in the stowed position rather than as a working feature, keeping tooling costs down. Paint is applied in a single deep Green rather than a hand-rubbed coachbuilt finish, evenly covered but without the depth a resin alternative might add. For a model at this price, the overall silhouette, that long bonnet and short tail, is what carries the piece, and it does so convincingly.

The SS 100 and Jaguar's Sporting Origins

William Lyons founded SS Cars in the early 1930s, and the SS 100 launched in 1936 as the sporting flagship of the range, powered by a six-cylinder engine that gave it genuine pace for the era. It competed successfully in rallies, including entries in the Alpine Trials, building a reputation for capable, affordable sporting motoring rather than exotic exclusivity. The SS name would not survive the Second World War in the same form, since its wartime associations made the initials unwelcome afterward, and the company adopted the Jaguar name for its cars from 1945 onward. The SS 100 therefore sits at the root of Jaguar's identity as a maker of sporting cars, predating the E-Type and XK models by two decades but establishing the same long-bonnet formula they would later refine.

Placed among later Jaguars, this SS 100 shows where the marque's sporting DNA began, and its modest diecast price makes it an easy way to anchor a pre-war corner of a British motoring collection without committing to costlier coachbuilt resin replicas.
