Would that be the M/bikes or the Isetta, or is it a Heinkel/Trojan.

I dont think the 'metalworker ?' could have ever seen a SS100. Saying that, there are loads of compound curves involved and would be quite a challenge for a specialist with an 'english wheel' etc.

I think you are all being rather unkind.
Searching for images entitled SS100 I came across this. The likeness is really quite good.

Dose not even look like the Brough Superior SS100. Looks more like a shipping container.

That's a bit rude isn't it, a shipping container is probably more streamlined than that, ohh and more useful. Laughing
