SSC Stylus
For sale is my SSC Stylus. The build was started in 2000 and completed in 2008 ( work and a house move prevented quicker progress).
The car passed its SVA test and has seen very little use since. It has less than 1000 miles on the clock and is in excellent, almost brand new condition. It has never been out in the rain and has always been kept in a garage under covers. I am only selling it as I do not use it and I need the garage space for other projects. The car is currently on a sorn and does not have an MOT, when it went for its one and only MOT it passed no problem without any advisories. The car is correctly registered with the DVLA as an SSC Stylus and is on an age related plate (not a Q plate).
The specification of the car is as follows.
• SSC chassis and body built using Ford running gear.
• Engine 1700cc Ford cross flow, re bored and rebuilt with a brand new Webber twin choke carburettor.
• Gearbox Ford type 9 five speed.
• Prop shaft professionally made.
• Rear axle Ford Escort Mk2 with coil over shock absorbers, panhard rod and four links.
• Front hubs modified Ford Escort Mk2 with coil over shock absorbers.
• Front brakes Escort Mk2 discs, rear brakes Escort Mk2 drums.
• Wheels 6*14 Revolution reconditioned and powder coated with new tyres all round.
• Exterior professionally sprayed in VW summer blue with two “cobra” stripes.
• Interior fully carpeted with black leather bucket seats.
• Full instrumentation with electric speedometer, rev counter, temperature gauge, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and voltmeter.
• “Porsche” style headlamps with recessed front indicators, individual rear lights.
• The exhaust is under the car with a single motor bike end can as a silencer (sound good).
I work as an engineer in the railway & construction industry and try to build everything to a high standard; I have applied this approach to the Stylus build. I have a full build history file and many build photos.
If you are after a Stylus ready to use then this could be the car for you, it cost me a lot more to build it than I am asking for it. I am looking for around the £7500 mark but would be open to reasonable offers. I am based in the north east of England just outside of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to come and see the car.
PS cant upload any photos as just getting a message of sorry the board attachment quota has been reached.
