About the Jaguar SS 100 Roadster Green Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS100 in green reproduces the pre-war open roadster built by SS Cars Ltd from 1936. Diecast construction captures the long bonnet, cutaway doors, and folded windscreen of a design that predates the Jaguar marque name.
British racing green suits the SS100 in a way few other colors do, and Bburago's diecast leans on that heritage color to make an already dramatic silhouette look right at home on a vintage shelf.
A Pre-War Roadster in Bburago Diecast
The SS100's appeal in miniature comes almost entirely from proportion: a bonnet that stretches well over half the car's length, free-standing headlamps, and cutaway doors that expose the running boards. Bburago's diecast body renders that long-hood stance faithfully, with the folded windscreen and spare wheel mount adding period detail without the fussiness that would fight the car's clean lines. As entry-tier diecast, the interior detail and paint depth stay modest, and the wire-style wheels are simplified rather than individually spoked, but the overall silhouette is what sells this subject, and that comes through clearly.
SS Cars and the Roadster That Preceded the Jaguar Name
The SS100 was built by SS Cars Ltd, the company William Lyons ran before it was renamed Jaguar in 1945, once the SS initials had taken on unwelcome associations after the war. That renaming makes the SS100 a genuine curiosity for collectors tracing the Jaguar brand back to its roots, since it wears a name the marque itself abandoned. On a vintage classics shelf, this diecast works best as a conversation piece next to postwar Jaguars, marking the point where the brand's identity actually began.
