good morning,
I am putting together a book examining the complete history of each and every SS90 and SS100.
I am chasing photos (both old and new), stories etc or contact with past owners of these wonderful cars.
Any leads or contacts most welcome
regards terry

this guy makes replicas, from what i gather he has owned a couple and knows them inside out as he had to measure every part and get a lot of the finishing touches correct

Are you in contact with a chap who lives near Chester (UK) who has a collection of 15-20 SS90's and SS100's?

I met him at a classic caravan meeting a few years ago and spent an hour or so talking to him and looking at the photos of his incredible collection.

I know he fiercely guards his privacy, so if you do know him, please don't put his name up here.

If you don't know him, I may be able to get your contact details to him through a mutual friend.

I am not familiar with anyone with this many SS90's and SS100's and almost certainly nobody in the world owns this many SS90's and SS100's, there are a couple of people who have had in excess off 10 SS's of all types ie Allen Lloyd of Lloyd's chemists and a friend in the USA who currently has in excess of 23 SS cars but only 3 SS100's and 1 SS90.
Even tom zwakman in Holland who probably has more than 10 SS's only has 5 or so SS90's and SS100's.
Of the top of my head I am not familiar with anyone near Chester with more than a dozen SS's but If I new the name it may be that I am not aware of there address in relation to Chester but I would certainly love to know more
