Jaguar classic car paint over the years

Founded in 1922, Jaguar was originally known as the Swallow Sidecar Company. As the name suggests, the brand started out by manufacturing sidecars for motorcycles, before eventually venturing into car production in 1935. The first car was named the SS Jaguar and took its name from Jaguar’s parent company, SS Cars.

After changing hands several times throughout the years and producing legendary vehicles such as the E-type, XJR and XKR-RS, Jaguar is now owned by Jaguar-Landrover and has garnered a well-earned reputation as one of the most iconic car manufacturers of all time.

Jaguar classic car paint colours are the same as Austin, Austin-Healey. M.G. and Wolseley. Our paint catalogue includes colours like Indigo Blue and Carmen Red, to Ascot Fawn and British Racing Green – we can mix them all.
