Jaguar Cars is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover, a British multinational car manufacturer headquartered in Coventry, England, owned by the Indian company Tata Motors since 2008. Jaguar's business was founded as the Swallow Sidecar (SS) Company in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before developing bodies for passenger cars. Swallow Sidecar (SS) Company was founded in 1922 by two motorcycle enthusiasts; man known as ''Mr. Jaguar'', William Lyons (1901-1985) and British automobile designer, William Walmsley (1892-1961). Under the ownership of S. S. Cars Limited the business extended to complete cars. The name S. S. Cars was changed to "Jaguar" in 1945. A merger with the British Motor Corporation followed in 1966, the resulting enlarged company now being renamed as vehicle manufacturing company, British Motor Holdings (BMH) (1966-1968), which in 1968 merged with Leyland Motor Corporation and became an automotive engineering and manufacturing conglomerate, British Leyland (1968-1986), itself to be nationalised in 1975. Jaguar has, in recent years, manufactured cars for the British Prime Minister. The company also holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles.
