A Legacy of Excellence: The Journey of Jaguar
Founded in 1922, Jaguar Cars Ltd. started its journey as a manufacturer of motorcycle sidecars before transitioning into the world of high-end passenger cars. Over time, it became synonymous with luxury and precision engineering, winning global acclaim. The company’s early production lineup featured pre-war models with 1.5L, 2.5L, and 3.5L engines—while the smallest engine was sourced from Standard Motor Company, the larger six-cylinder variants were built in-house. These classic models later became known informally as the Mark IV series.
Jaguar has also been at the forefront of innovation, collaborating with Lotus Cars and Caparo on a luxury hybrid executive sedan project called ‘Limo-Green.’ Supported by the British Government’s Technology Strategy Board, this vehicle was designed as a plug-in hybrid, marking Jaguar’s push towards sustainable mobility.
The Evolution of Jaguar: From British Roots to Global Leadership
Originally founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by motorcycle enthusiasts Sir William Lyons and William Walmsley, the company underwent a major transformation in 1945. The “SS” title was dropped due to its declining appeal, and five years later, the brand adopted the name Jaguar.
Jaguar’s corporate journey saw multiple mergers and acquisitions. In 1966, it joined forces with the British Motor Corporation (BMC) to form British Motor Holdings (BMH), which later merged with Leyland—creating the British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC) in 1968. Over the years, Jaguar operated under different ownerships, including British Leyland and Ford’s Premier Automotive Group in 1999. Ford later sold off Aston Martin in 2007, and in 2008, Jaguar, along with Land Rover, was acquired by Indian automotive giant Tata Motors. Today, Jaguar continues to uphold its reputation as a premier luxury automaker, blending heritage with cutting-edge innovation.
