Then in 1935 the S.S. 'Jaguar' model was introduced and thereafter, partly due to the political correctness of the times, the model designation was soon given greater prominence. S.S. cars offered style and performance at an affordable price and Eric J. Boyd drove an early model to some success. In 1933 he completed the famous London to Edinburgh Trial and was sufficiently impressed to order one of the first S.S. 90 models to be produced in 1935.
