About the Jaguar SS100 Silver Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Jaguar SS100 in Silver reproduces the late-1930s British roadster built by SS Cars, the company that later renamed itself Jaguar. Long louvered hood, cycle fenders, and a low windscreen define one of the most recognizable pre-war British sports car shapes.
Few pre-war shapes announce their sporting intent as clearly as the SS100's long hood and low, raked windscreen, a silhouette that still reads as fast even parked.
A Louvered, Long-Hooded Shape at 1:18
Bburago's diecast construction gives this SS100 real weight for its slim proportions, and the long louvered hood panels are the detail worth examining closely, since the SS100's whole visual identity rests on that stretch of bonnet between the grille and the low-set cabin. The cycle fenders and exposed headlamps carry the exposed-mechanical honesty typical of pre-war sports cars, with little bodywork to hide behind. Silver suits the car's chrome-heavy detailing, letting the grille surround and headlamp housings stand out clearly rather than competing with a saturated body color. At this accessible price point, interior detail stays functional, with the wood-rimmed steering wheel shape and simple bench seat rendered legibly rather than exhaustively.
The Car That Led to the Jaguar Name
The SS100 was built by SS Cars, the company William Lyons ran before renaming it Jaguar in 1945, and the SS100's sporting success and striking looks played a real role in building the brand recognition that made the eventual name change a natural step rather than a leap into the unknown. It's remembered today as one of the defining British sports cars of the immediate pre-war years.
An Origin Piece for a Jaguar Collection
For a collector building a Jaguar lineage from its earliest days, the SS100 works as a genuine starting point, predating the Jaguar name itself but belonging squarely in that story.
