Description

Following on from his book S.S.I and S.S.II Cars, Allan Crouch main points the models that succeeded them: the 1½ and 2½ Litre of 1936-37, the SS100 sports car, the1½, 2½ and 3½ Litre of 1938-48, and the Mark V of 1948-51. Excluding the 1½ Litres, what used to be not unusual to those cars used to be the six-cylinder engine, in response to a Usual sidevalve unit for which Harry Weslake designed an overhead-valve cylinder head giving very respectable power outputs. Combined with flowing body styling inspired by William Lyons himself, the outcome used to be some strikingly attractive and desirable cars, at extraordinarily keen prices. Here the advance and evolution of the variability are described, complete with competition history, production figures and specifications, all accompanied by 250 colour photographs and 80 black-and-white images from the archives.
