Classic Old-timer 1936 Jaguar SS-100
I have by the nature of the limitations of SL, the virtual world and the limits imposed on physical vehicles taken some licence with details, but I have tried my best to capture the timeless beauty, the elegant sweeping lines and magnetic attraction of this classic old-timer. The SL model is made using 29 prims which allows driver and passenger before exceeding the SL physical vehicle limits. The extraordinary high level of detail is possible due to the extensive use of sculpted prims and a couple of other building tricks.
HOW TO USE THE SS-100
Just rezz it from inventory click on the body or drivers seat, wait for the engine to start and drive off.
Use the arrow keys or the “WASD” keys for forwards backwards and steering, the “Screen-up” and “Screen-down” keys will change the gears which affect the max speed. There are 4 forward gears, just like the original. It takes a little skill to drive properly, but then so does the original.
Passengers simply click on the passenger seat, this will not activate the drive system.
Clicking on the doors will open them, click again to close them or they will do so automatically after 8 seconds.
Clicking on the steering wheel will sound the horn.
Clicking on the bonnet (USA – hood) will open it and rezz a detailed engine. This can only be done when the vehicle is stationary and unoccupied, it also stops the drive function. Clicking again on the engine will close the bonnet and de-rezz the engine at the same time actuating the drive system again. NOTE, when you rezz the engine the prim count escalates dramatically (112), make sure you or the land has the prims available.
Permissions and Refund Policy:
The vehicle is copy only, and as with all copy items there is no refund, please come and look at it on my island before you purchase if you are not sure. I know this object works, it has been tested and works well within the considerations of SIM loading and lag. You can IM me if I am online, if i have time I might demonstrate it to you on one of the tracks in SL.
Copyright
I have based this 3D virtual image (hereafter called the SS-100) on the real SS-100 which I know very well indeed, if SS Cars Ltd. of Coventry (or their legal representatives) deem this to be out of order and feel that they might suffer damages because of this model I will remove it from SL without delay. I believe that the representation of such a model serves the community in general by maintaining an interest in our heritage and provides information of historic value, as well as providing a lot of people with enjoyment.

But enjoy :)

This car is incredible, looks good and is incredibly easy to drive even at high speeds! It's also priced fairly reasonably when compared to other vehicles on here. Without a doubt the best car i own on this game.
There are however a couple of minor things that annoy me, firstly the fact that the engine noise can't be turned off (correct me if i'm wrong), its a great noise at first but after hours of driving some people start to get frustrated and also its difficult to press the horn and drive at the same time, however it is possible with practice!
Fantastic car. One of the best I've seen in SL.
