Equipment
RHD. 2,663cc/100hp, dual RAG carburetors, 4-speed, leaf spring 4-spoke steering wheel, upgraded engine with a 3.5 liter crankshaft, tonneau cover, side curtains, tools, tire pump, rear-mounted spare.
Condition
Restored in Australia a decade ago, judged authentic there recently. Very good paint with minimal polishing swirl. The interior is excellent with scant evidence of wear or creasing from use. The engine compartment is better than when it left Coventry without being overdone and the chassis and suspension are like new. Clear, crisp gauges in a scratched panel. Generally good chrome. An outstanding SS One with room for a small family and all the equipment it should have. 88 reassuring photos.
Market commentary
The SS One is not as pretty as an SS 100 but is still a prime example of William Lyons' design talent applied to a 4-seat tourer. It is eligible for an impressive sweep of events and with 100hp is capable of keeping up with traffic in style consistent with its design and dignity. An SS 100, even a 2 1/2 liter, would cost multiples of this price which is a sound value for its condition and quality.
