A few years later, we think they would have phrased it somewhat differently... But that's not the point. The arrival of the SS was equivalent to the arrival of a myth. In 1935, the SS90 was born with a 2.5 litre six-in-line. Together with Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, it started the battle for the fastest production car in the world.
The English were known for their idiosyncratic engineering and design. The camshaft was not yet overhead, the block was not yet made of aluminium and they didn't want to know anything about a blower. After some adjustments in the head and some extra praise space, the 3.5 litre SS100 was born. The result? The magic limit of 100 miles per hour was broken (at the time still an average width of a bicycle tyre, mind you) and she sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 10.4 seconds. And yes, your neighbour does the same with his sensible 3 pitter. But who was first and who's lavishing in style? Precisely.
The sensuously sculpted SS 100 has become a legend. Its groundbreaking performance but also its production numbers have never left the list of endangered car types. Only 198 were as 2.5L built and 116 as 3.5L.
This 2.5 litre, was born in 1937 as a saloon and in the early sixties it was rebuilt alongside a 'real roadster'. The engine, gearbox and chassis are matching and original, the body is a very nice rebody, which was recently done up by Bas Jansen. She is serviced, tested and comes with a Heritage Certificate.
