==The Car== The SS 1 was noted for its apparent value for money and its attractive appearance, rather than its performance. From 1932 until 1934 it used either a 15[[Tax horsepower#UK|HP]] six-cylinder side-valve [[Standard Motor Company|Standard]] engine of 2,054 cc with {{convert|48|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}} or a 20HP, 2,552 cc {{cvt|62|bhp|kW|0}} version. The two engines were enlarged to 2,143 cc and {{convert|53|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}} or 2,663 cc and {{convert|68|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}} respectively for the 1934 to 1936 models. The chassis was also made by Standard and was changed to underslung suspension in 1933. With a top speed of {{convert|75|mi/h|km/h|abbr=on}}, the cars were remarkable for their styling and low cost rather than their performance. In 1932 the basic coupé cost £310. Just over 4,200 cars were made.
