The SS 2 was the smaller companion to the SS 1 among the first cars that SS Cars offered to the public, in the early 1930s. SS Cars was the firm of William Lyons that became Jaguar Cars in 1945. The SS 2 used a four-cylinder 1-litre side-valve engine, where the SS 1 had a six-cylinder engine of 2 or 2.5 litres, and its Standard-supplied engine and chassis carried a Swallow body styled under Lyons's supervision. It was first sold as a coupe or tourer, and a saloon was added in 1934 when the chassis was widened by two inches. The wheelbase of the SS 2 also gave the short chassis from which the 1935 SS 90 open sports car was made.
