If you can get beyond the "It's a replica" tag then as a previous owner, I would go for the SS100.
It will have all brand new or re built to new parts, the chassis is brand new, the body is rust proof GRP and aluminium.
You can, and indeed must, tinker to your hearts desire. They look great, are brilliant to drive, fast, reliable and have a good hood.
Depreciation is minimal or non existant like a Morgan and at the end of the day, when all the bull is forgotten, don't we all buy cars that resonate with our heart and soul rather than the head ??
Sorry if this sounds like a sales pitch, it's just that Suffolks are so good that's why I now have a "C" Type from them.
As others have said Howard, I think you are searching in vain, hell I even didn't like my "E" Type so there's no hope for you. oldgit


Here for a good time not a long time!!
