About Jaguar

Jaguar has a very long and colorful history in the automobile industry. Did you know that the Jaguar C-type and D-type sports racing car was able to beat other rivals like Mercedes Benz and Ferrari in the 1950s at least five times? That is how efficient this car is when it comes to power and speed.

Brief History of Jaguar

Jaguar was established in 1922 originally as the Swallow Sidecar Company. It built motorcycle sidecars before it entered into car manufacturing. After World War II, the company name was changed to Jaguar to avoid being associated with the SS initials owing to the harrowing things that this organization did during the war.

The company merged with British Motor Corporation in 1966, and then merged again with Leyland Motor Corporation and became known as British Leyland. Jaguar has been manufacturing cars for the Prime Minister of Britain in recent years. For instance, an XJ was delivered to the PM in May 2010.
