About the Jaguar SS 100 Red Bburago 1:18

TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS 100 comes in red, reproducing the pre-war British roadster named for its claimed 100mph top speed, a genuine rarity among 1930s production cars. Zinc-alloy construction and opening doors bring SS Cars' pre-Jaguar-renaming era to an accessible vintage-classics diecast.

Before the company renamed itself Jaguar, SS Cars built the SS 100, a roadster whose name promised a top speed few production cars of the 1930s could genuinely reach.

Bburago's Diecast Rendering of a Pre-War Speed Claim

This SS 100 wears solid red over Bburago's vintage-classics diecast body, and the model captures the car's long, sweeping front fenders and prominent chrome grille, styling details that made the SS 100 look fast even parked. The doors open on functional hinges, revealing a simplified cockpit with the exposed gauges and slim bench seating typical of a 1930s sports roadster, and the model's open-top configuration reflects the SS 100's original convertible-only body style, since the car was never offered as a closed coupe. Zinc-alloy construction gives the diecast real weight, and the free-standing headlamps and spoked wheel design, both period-correct for the car's actual specification, round out a silhouette that reads unmistakably pre-war even at a glance. Bburago's vintage-classics range benefits from subjects like the SS 100, whose dramatic proportions and minimal bodywork make for a visually striking piece regardless of scale.

The SS 100's Name and Its 1930s Speed Claim

SS Cars, the company that would later rename itself Jaguar, built the SS 100 between 1936 and 1940 as a genuine performance flagship, and the car's name referred directly to its claimed top speed of 100 miles per hour, a figure very few production cars of the period could reach. Power came from a Standard-sourced six-cylinder engine, tuned for greater output than the sedans that shared the same basic mechanical components, and the SS 100's lightweight body helped translate that power into genuinely competitive performance for its era. That combination of a bold performance claim and a design striking enough to back it up visually is part of why the SS 100 remains a significant subject for pre-war collectors, well before the Jaguar name existed.

This red SS 100 suits a vintage-classics shelf covering pre-war British sports cars or the earliest chapter of Jaguar's corporate history, before the SS name gave way entirely to Jaguar after the war. Bburago's mass-market pricing keeps that early story accessible.
