1970 Suffolk Ss100 – A Golden Gem
Are you ready to indulge in the timeless elegance of a classic sports car without the headaches of an original? Crossley and Webb are proud to present the 1970 Suffolk SS100, a masterpiece that blends vintage allure with modern reliability.
**The Suffolk SS100: A Tribute to a Legend**
Suffolk Sportscars, established by Roger Williams over two decades ago, has been dedicated to reproducing the iconic Jaguar SS100. With an impressive output of just 15 cars per year, each Suffolk SS100 is a testament to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
**Under the Bonnet: Performance and Power**
This golden beauty is based on a 1970 Jaguar SS100, powered by a robust 4.2-litre straight-six engine with twin SU carburettors (HS8s) and an electronic ignition system. Paired with a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, it promises a driving experience that is both exhilarating and smooth.
The current owner's mechanic shares, "After the purchase from Suffolk, we had it set up and checked on the rolling road here in the UK. We also had a fitted cover made and attended to some minor jobs."
**A Journey to South Africa**
Upon its arrival in South Africa, the car received an export registration, duties were paid, and it was officially registered in February 2016. The addition of a stainless-steel exhaust system has enhanced its performance and power, delivering a pleasing exhaust note that is far from offensive.
**Meticulous Maintenance**
In 2018, the Suffolk SS100 underwent a comprehensive service, affectionately called a "look and love," which included oil and filter changes, brake and clutch fluid replacements, and other minor maintenance tasks. The car is now in pristine condition, ready for its next adventure.
The vehicle comes with a service file dating back to 2011 and includes the original build and maintenance manual from Suffolk, securely stored in the rear compartment.
**A Drive Like No Other**
The owner describes the experience, "It looks, feels, smells, and is almost pre-war until you drive it...then the expected bone-shaking ride does not happen. The light and direct steering is unparalleled."
Unlike a temperamental hot rod, this Suffolk SS100 runs on twin SUs, making it compatible with South Africa's lower octane fuel. The spotless, brand-new interior, complemented by the stunning gold exterior and new Blockley tyres, makes it a joy to behold and drive.
**The Ultimate Classic Experience**
For those seeking the charm of an original SS100 without the associated challenges, the Suffolk SS100 is the perfect choice. Offering more fun and reliability, it's a car you'll want to drive every day.
