That would be a Standard Swallow Saloon SS1 1932 - 1936 vintage.

This was before the company became SS, then after the war became Jaguar Cars

Drawn a bit of a blank so far.

There are hints of corvette about it and the large rear badge is another pointer.

Could it be a police car with those chrome things that look a bit like 1950's police lights on the wings, but there is no signage.

no not corvette,

concept car for a famous car, would it had been so desirable had it been designed this way?

No not a police car.

OK - another hint, the designer name made not be known to a lot of people, but - he has designed some of the worlds best items and everyone has seen/used or touched one of his designs. . .  . .  . . . . . .  . . A hint or a wind up? - you decide - we are playing for 7 points!

looks like this is going to be well worth those 7 points.

Another pic of the motor, from the front this time, told you that because you may wonder which end.

Checked with the designers work, he has done designs and logo's of some very well known products.

So what concept car is it? and who designed it ?


Oh yea, the fate of this car is unknown, so it could well turn up as a barn find one day  Quick check those barns!!!!

I wonder if it could be a 1955 Jaguar XK140, Loewy Custom

Penned by Raymond Loewy who designed for Studbaker cars. He also designed among other things, steam locomotives, Hillman Minx, Lucky Strike Logo, Chubb logo, Greyhound busses, Exxon & Spar logos and the interior of Concorde.

The car is probably a 3.8 ltr 6 cylinder, infomation is a bit thin on the ground,
