Aladdin's cave of SS100 replica parts
Well, not quite but I have been contacted by a gentleman in California who has a complete unbuilt kit from Classic and Automotive.
Most of the parts are still wrapped and it's a fantastic opportunity for someone to build their own replica. As far as I know the only company building replicas these days is the Suffolk Sportscars company which is pretty
much perfection, though at a price.
He may be persuaded to part with it but he is not prepared to split. (I would
have loved the folding screen and the narrow seats !). Carriage and import duty to the UK would probably be impractical but any readers of this blog in the US or Canada could take advantage of what is probably a unique opportunity.
The parts that are not shown such as the body tub, chassis doors etc are wrapped and stored in the attic.
This chassis is designed to take VW mechanics but I believe was al
so offered
with a Ford front engined option and I think these moulds were the basis of the British Carisma prototype. The owner even has a donor Beetle but it looks far too good to me to break as these are now classics in their own right.
Anyone interested should contact via this blog and serious enquirers will have their detail forwarded to the owner.
Please remember where it is and the transport implications.

I have just acquired a finished kit that has been sitting in a barn for the last 15 years (really!) I need a few minor parts for it, such as wind wing hinges, etc. If anyone knows where parts can be obtained. I also have the hard top for it, but no hardware or info on how to mount it.
