A legend of automotive history for your home
If you’re passionate about classic cars, you simply cannot miss this milestone. The S.S. 100, manufactured from 1935 onwards, was a vehicle that was far ahead of its time. It was the very first car to bear the now world-famous name ‘Jaguar’ and thus ushered in an era of elegant and powerful sports cars. At that time, the number ‘100’ in the name was not merely a model designation, but a genuine promise of performance: the car reached a top speed of 100 miles per hour, which is equivalent to around 160 km/h. This was an absolute record for the time and made the car an icon on racetracks and country roads alike.
With this kit, you can bring this very fascinating story home. Even in 2026, enthusiasm for this elegant sports car will remain undiminished. Due to its distinctive, sloping wings and its extremely low, dynamic profile, this two-seater roadster is often regarded by connoisseurs as the most beautiful sports car of the entire pre-war era. Every line, every curve and every detail of this design has been faithfully reproduced in this model to provide you with a completely authentic experience.
Unparalleled attention to detail and outstanding features
The Jaguar SS 100 starter kit impresses with its exceptional manufacturing precision. The developers placed great emphasis on reproducing the characteristic features of the original vehicle exactly to scale. This begins with the design and extends to the smallest mechanical details that make this kit so special.
• Multi-part body: The body of this model consists of several finely coordinated individual parts. This not only enables a more realistic representation of the gap dimensions and vehicle contours, but also offers you completely new detailing options when painting and assembling.
• Delicate spoke wheels: An absolute highlight of this kit are the extremely finely crafted spoke wheels. They perfectly capture the classic look of the racing sports cars of the era and lend the finished model an incomparable elegance.
• Authentic design: The characteristic sloping wings, the long bonnet and the minimalist interior of the two-seater roadster are faithfully reproduced.
• Comprehensive set: Designed as a starter kit, this package provides an excellent foundation for diving straight into the fascinating world of sophisticated model-making.
Challenging model-making at level 5
This model is not a casual project, but a genuine technical challenge. The kit is classified as difficulty level 5. This means it is explicitly aimed at experienced model-makers who already possess in-depth knowledge of gluing, painting and handling delicate components. The large number of individual parts and the complexity of the assemblies demand your full concentration, but in the end you will be rewarded with a first-class display piece.
The multi-part body and the highly detailed components require a steady hand and precise work. However, this is precisely where the great appeal of this kit lies: you accompany the vehicle step by step as it takes shape. From the initial assembly of the chassis to the fitting of the delicate spoked wheels and the final painting of the flat body – every step deepens your connection to this historic car. It’s a project that will provide you with many hours of focused relaxation.
