The storied inception of a luxury legend
Jaguar’s story begins in 1922, with the foundation of the Swallow Sidecar Company by William Lyons and William Walmsley. Initially specializing in motorcycle sidecars, the company soon expanded into car manufacturing, setting a precedent for innovation that would define Jaguar’s legacy. A pivotal moment in this transformation occurred in 1935 when the first vehicle explicitly branded as a ‘Jaguar’ was introduced to the world—a moniker symbolizing grace, elegance, and power.
The post-war era and expansion
In the aftermath of World War II, Jaguar emerged as a beacon of British automotive engineering. The 1948 introduction of the XK120 not only shattered speed records but also set new benchmarks for vehicle aesthetics and performance. This era marked a series of groundbreaking launches that established Jaguar as a purveyor of high-performance luxury automobiles.
