🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Jaguar Model: 2.4 Litre Years Covered: 1935-1948 Codes Chassis Codes Implied: SS100, XK120 (early variants, some components shared or adapted), Mark IV, Mark V (engine families overlap) Engine Codes Implied: 1810cc OHV Inline-6 (SS Jaguar 1.5L, 2.5L, 3.5L families), 2488cc OHV Inline-6 (later 2.4 Litre variants) 👋 Introduction Market Position Positioning 1930S 40S: Jaguar (as SS Cars initially, then Jaguar) occupied the premium sporting car segment, offering performance and style often at a more accessible price point than direct competitors like Bentley or higher-end Aston Martins. The 2.4 Litre models represented a key part of this strategy, providing a balance of performance and civility. Competitive Analysis Competitors Implied: MG, Triumph, Rover, Wolseley, Alvis, Aston Martin (entry-level models), Riley Key Features Of Vehicles Covered Design Philosophy: Emphasis on sporting performance combined with elegant styling and good value for the period. Often featuredOHC or advanced OHV engines for their class. Powertrain Options: Inline-6 engines, known for their smoothness and power delivery, often featuring twin SU carburettors for enhanced performance. Manual Usefulness Value Proposition: Essential for owners, restorers, and workshops to accurately identify and source original or period-correct replacement parts for these classic Jaguars. Crucial for maintaining originality and ensuring correct fitment. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Primary Coverage: Spare Parts Catalogue Secondary Coverage: Components, Assemblies, Part Identification Page Count Estimated Page Count: 250-350 (variable based on edition and completeness, typical for the era) Manual Type Type: Parts Catalogue / Parts List Language Language: English Format Format: Print (likely bound, potentially loose-leaf for service updates in period) 📖 Manual Coverage Systems Covered Engine Components: Cylinder block, cylinder head, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft, valves, timing gear, oil pump, water pump, manifolds (intake/exhaust), carburettor components, ignition system components (distributor, coil, spark plugs - list specific types and brands if known) Fuel System: Fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump (type: AC mechanical or SU electric early on), carburettors (SU H-series, Stromberg), fuel filters Cooling System: Radiator, radiator hoses, thermostat, fan, water jackets, coolant passages Exhaust System: Exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, muffler, tailpipe Transmission Clutch: Clutch assembly (friction plate, pressure plate, release bearing), flywheel, gearbox mainshaft, layshaft, gears, synchromesh rings (if applicable), selector mechanism, clutch hydraulics (master/slave cylinders if fitted) Drivetrain: Propeller shaft, universal joints, rear axle casing, differential gears, half-shafts, axle shafts Suspension Front: Independent front suspension (if applicable for specific models within the range), kingpins, kingpin bushes, stub axles, wishbones, torsion bars (if applicable), shock absorbers (Armstrong lever arm type common), springs (if applicable), steering arms Suspension Rear: Live rear axle, leaf springs (semi-elliptic), shock absorbers (Armstrong lever arm type common), spring shackles, mounting brackets Braking System: Front brakes (hydraulic drums), rear brakes (hydraulic drums), master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brake drums, brake pipes, brake fluid reservoir, handbrake mechanism (mechanical linkage) Steering System: Steering box (Marles type common), steering column, steering wheel, steering arms, track rods, tie rods, drag link, idler box Electrical System: Generator (Lucas dynamo), starter motor (Lucas), battery, ignition coil (Lucas), distributor (Lucas), voltage regulator (Lucas), headlamps, sidelamps, taillamps, stop lamps, interior lights, horn, windscreen wipers, dashboard instruments (ammeter, oil pressure gauge, fuel gauge, speedometer, tachometer), wiring looms, fuses Bodywork Chassis: Chassis frame (ladder type common), body panels (steel), doors, bonnet, boot lid, grille, bumpers, windscreen frame, roof structure (saloon/coupe/convertible variants), running boards, internal trim panels, seat frames, windscreen glass, door glass Wheels Tyres: Road wheels (wire spoke or pressed steel), hubcaps, wheel studs, lug nuts, tyre specifications (sizes), inner tubes Accessories: Heater (if factory option), radio (if factory option), overdrive (if fitted - Laycock or Wilson unit), specific trim pieces, badges Procedures Included Part Identification: Detailed illustration of each part, cross-referenced with part numbers and descriptions Assembly Breakdown: Exploded diagrams showing how components fit together within assemblies Interchangeability: Indication of interchangeable parts between different models or production periods within the covered range Obsolescence Notes: Likely includes notes on superseded part numbers and replacement options Technical Depth Depth: Comprehensive part identification and cataloguing.
