In the history of the motor car, there a few marques more revered than Jaguar. Formed in 1922 by two motorcycle enthusiasts, William Lyons and William Walmsley, they started to design and manufacture road going sports cars.
Their first cars were the Jaguars SS Saloon and SS 100 open 2-seater sports models which set a good precedent for their future position as the best British sports car maker. Post WW2 saw Jaguar introduce the beautifully styled and engineered XK series of sports cars, starting with the XK120 which ran from 1948-54 followed by the XK140 (1954-57) and finally the XK150 (1957-61).
