Auction description:
The Dawn of Motoring Sale 2023 1934 S.S. Cars Ltd. SS2 1.6-Litre Series 2 Fixed Head Coupé

ATT 39 was originally registered on the 31st of December 1934 finished in 'Dual Green', according to the original buff log book within the car's history file. The later 'green' log book lists the car as being Black so it's assumed that the colour was changed within this period. Also within the file there are 14 old MOT certificates the oldest being 1977 with the newest being 2007. There are a few invoices for work carried out but not many, however, there is a Bill of Sale for ATT 39 in 2012 for the sum of £36,000. Showing 4,377 miles on the odometer, therefore assumed to be 104,377, and interestingly looking back at the old MOTs, the mileage goes back to 00003 in 1978 and gradually moves forward to its current 4,377 showing that in reality the car has covered just 4,374 miles in the last 46 years. We can also see from the file that, prior to our vendors, it has had four keepers from new.

Looking at the condition of the car, both internally and externally, it's clear that at some point this SS2 has been carefully restored, which fits with the owner prior to the Collection having paid £36,000 for it just over 10 years ago. The car sits really well and the black paintwork and black fabric seem excellent if a bit dusty. The engine bay is tidy and would be enjoyable to detail and bring up to scratch and the interior is lovely with great red leather seating, 'sunburst' door cards, very good carpets and that classic wooden dashboard with its well presented Jaeger instruments is a delight.

A really good example of a rare car which, with a couple of days fettling, could be back on the show circuit.
