Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

Why does the Jaguar logo depict a leaping feline?

The Jaguar logo, created in 1945, symbolizes the brand's power, elegance, and agility. The leaping feline evokes speed and grace, core values of Jaguar since its beginnings in motor racing.

Which Jaguar is considered one of the most beautiful cars ever designed?

The Jaguar E-Type, launched in 1961, is often cited as one of the most beautiful automobiles of all time. Enzo Ferrari himself called it 'the most beautiful car in the world' when it was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

What technical feature revolutionized Jaguars in the 1960s?

Jaguar pioneered its four-wheel disc braking system, first tested in competition on the C-Type and D-Type. This innovation was then fitted to production models, providing braking far superior to the drums used by the competition.

Why are classic Jaguars particularly sought after by collectors?

Jaguars combine timeless design, a prestigious sporting heritage (including victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans), and relatively limited production. Their British craftsmanship and status as automotive icons make them highly sought-after pieces.

What is the origin of the name 'Jaguar' for this car brand?

The name 'Jaguar' was adopted in 1935 by William Lyons, founder of SS Cars. He was looking for a name that evoked speed and elegance, and 'Jaguar' sounded better than alternatives like 'Sunbeam' or 'Tiger'. The name was officially used after World War II.
