Chichester, Goodwood

£60,000 - £80,000

• Present family ownership since the early 1970s

• An older restoration

• Only used in fine weather

• Well known in SS and Jaguar circles

This SS1 was purchased by the vendor's father in the early 1970s before undergoing a sympathetic restoration by Unisant (records and all receipts on file). The car has remained in the same family's possession for 50 years. Run only in fine weather, 'CXV 153' has attended many SS and Jaguar events over the years and is well known in the SS car community. We are advised that the car has always started 'on the button' after its winter hibernation and has been a reliable runner. It has been serviced regularly by marque specialist David Davenport and more recently by David Wall in Norfolk, with any issues addressed immediately.

The gearbox received a major service and new clutch in 2012, while more recently the mechanical fuel pump was replaced with a more reliable electric one (original available). The SS is only being sold because the owners' circumstances mean they cannot give the car the time it deserves.
