1935 SS Cars SS1 Tourer

In 1929 Sir John Black of the Standard Motor Company and William Lyons of the Swallow Sidecar Company teamed up to produce a one-off sports car; in effect this was the first SS sports car. Later, in 1931, the Standard Company built a chassis that was intended only for Swallow bodies. This union between the two companies, now called Standard Swallow or more commonly 'SS,' grew, and in 1933 the SS Cars Company Ltd was formed. It offered a variety of body styles, chassis, and configurations from 1934 through 1936.

After a long period in storage, this SS1 2.5-Litre Tourer was purchased by its current owner in 2012. The car was in very good, although non-running condition, and it had all its original components. It was restored in 2014.
