**The Suffolk SS100: A Tribute to a Legend**

The origin

This car originally belonged to a client of mines wife who was the 3rdowner and had owned the car for 18 years. It took me approximately 10 of these to convince her to sell it to me. So, this is my version of an iconic, old-school sports car with a few modern twists.

The interesting fact is that even though the two Uhlenhaut Coupes were built out of the regular SLR chassis for the 1956 sports car racing season, they never saw action. This is no thanks to Mercedes pulling out from motorsports after the tragic 1955 Le Mans incident.

Now the owner and operator of MFR Enterprises, Fry spends most of his time fabricating and prepping race cars for various motorsport disciplines. Over the years his builds have racked up top honors at competitions like SEMAs Battle of the Builders, and although notoriety has made free time harder to come by these days, he still manages to put together projects like this Hilborn-injected Datsun 510 in order to satisfy his motorsport ambitions.

Jerry, who was 30 miles north of his home in Lucas, Texas, had driven out to fix a broken air conditioner in a mobile home. The property was vast, with little more than the house, a few buildings, and the mobile home on a dirt road. The car owner, wearing bib overalls and no shirt, was dealing with chickens and an old refrigerator in the front yard. Jerry helped feed the chickens and, while repairing the A/C with a simple capacitor fix, asked if the car was for sale. The owner, skeptical but intrigued, was offered $2,500 on the spot.

Karl’s mind started racing, and he knew he had to have one. He wasn’t sure exactly what he’d do with it at first, but when he finally told me he’d finished his 1927 Track T Roadster, I was beyond excited. Here’s the story of how Karl’s first Miller Track T, affectionately dubbed the Radster, came to life.

Rudi Van Der Merwe from Pretoria is the proud owner of this unique 1955 Chevy 210 4-door beast he affectionately calls Lucky Lucile. Rudi’s story of his beloved Lucky Lucile is one of passion, grit, and a love for raw power.

Ettiene is no stranger to SA HotRods. We all spent hours glued to our screens watching him build Riaan Venter’s 1941 Chevy Coupé, which was featured in Edition 10. But what many people didn’t notice was what was lurking in the background: fibreglass moulds of a 1932 Ford Pickup, something Ettiene had been quietly working on for some time.
