Incidentally there were two manufacturers had models called the SS100 - Brough and Jaguar... post 1945 the jaguar was canned or renamed (im not sure which) because of the connotations of the SS moniker.
Strange to say but until the Germans got hold of it - the Swastika was a sign generally held to be of good luck (with the arms pointing the other way) as it was an ancient representation of the sun disc..
