Today's 'Throwback Thursday' classic is the stunning Jaguar 'SS' (Swallow Sport) saloon from 1938. Retrospectively it's called the Mk IV and was the brands flagship sports saloon and one of the first models to feature the name of 'Jaguar'.
Sleek, sporty, drive focused, it was the modern alternative to the larger Bentley and Rolls Royce models available at the time, and could match them for luxury at half the price.
It's 3.5 litre six in-line motor with twin carbs could take you from 0-60 in around 20 seconds and top out at just under the 100mph.
If you'd like one.... you'll need very deep pockets, think in excess of £60,000.
