A fantastic example, with superb continuous history

A correct and genuine SS100 with continuous and assuring history is very difficult to locate indeed.

49062, is one such example - with just some 3,800 miles completed since restoration.

These fabulous cars often find their way overseas or are reconstructions based around pre war saloons - but this is one of the very few original examples to have remained in the UK from new.  It features a fantastic history file which includes photographs of its pre war competition history and the 'buff' continuation log book dating back to 1955 when it was owned by artist Jacob Epstein no less.   

The fitment of its current and correct pre war SS 3.5 litre engine was undertaken in 1969 and is well documented. This engine has covered very few miles since a more recent rebuild.   

Lord O’Neill added 49062 to his fabulous stable in 1970 soon after  its expert and sympathetic restoration was completed.  It remained in the collection for the next 38 years, before we added it to our own in 2008 – having waited very patiently to locate such a car.  

It has a wonderful record of ongoing maintenance since Lord O’Neill acquired the car, and in such a fabulous colour scheme, must be one of the ultimate examples to survive.
