Well mine was supplied in September 1997 and numbered SSC970032 . At that time Pete Powell claimed to be selling 20 kits a year If that's true then you'll be approx'ly SSC010092 to 112 ishrossco61 wrote:Interesting List, Well done, Matt.
To add to my line ---- Chassis Number, never found out ? Peter never supplied one !
Current Owner ---- Ross Faggotter
Home Town ---- Laura, South Aust.
Colour --- Not finished so no paint, but maybe a Pearl Yellow/Orange ---- or a pearl medium Blue ---- or a pearl Plum !!!
Engine ---- Is an 1800 Nissan Turbo, uprated!
Is a Classic.
Kit Date --- May 2001 ------ Maybe someone can fathom out a number from this date ?
AND that is more than 10 years ago, better get back to it !!!

Re: Stylus Units Sold
As my car is SF92... I guess that it's a Fury-based chassis. Does anyone know how many cars were built on the modified Fury chassis'?

Re: Stylus Units Sold
Only Jeremy Phillips will know that but I really doubt he built 92 chassis with Stylus bodies so his numbering system probably didn't reflect modelsSook wrote:As my car is SF92... I guess that it's a Fury-based chassis. Does anyone know how many cars were built on the modified Fury chassis'?

Re: Stylus Units Sold
Possibly a Sylva Fury 1992 chassis, but definitely not the 74th Stylus kit made !stylussprinter wrote:Only Jeremy Phillips will know that but I really doubt he built 92 chassis with Stylus bodies so his numbering system probably didn't reflect modelsSook wrote:As my car is SF92...

Re: Stylus Units Sold
That was my thought. Maybe it was a Fury chassis that was lying around spare and had the necessary mods made to fit the Stylus body. If such thing as a Fury register existed it may shine some light on it. Maybe I'll ask the question on the JPSC forum.MattD wrote:Possibly a Sylva Fury 1992 chassis, but definitely not the 74th Stylus kit made !stylussprinter wrote:Only Jeremy Phillips will know that but I really doubt he built 92 chassis with Stylus bodies so his numbering system probably didn't reflect modelsSook wrote:As my car is SF92...

It's interesting how few Sylva Stylus' there seem to be when compared to the two SSC incarnations.

Jeremy is going to ask his chassis subcontractor if he kept any records though, so not done just yet !

Re: Stylus Units Sold
I see Craig's car is SF920107 and is a Fury chassis so there may be a few cars in this configuration.
Re: Stylus Units Sold

Re: Stylus Units Sold
When did Tim stop selling? So if numbers are true there must be 120 odd cars about.

Re: Stylus Units Sold
When we all went down to LLANDOW for the Stylus day in August 2007, Tim did come but at that point hadn't sold a kit for at least a year . So probably at some point at the end of 2005 or beginning of 2006 , was the last kit soldkevp wrote:When did Tim stop selling? So if numbers are true there must be 120 odd cars about.
The best sales numbers per year were when Pete Powell had the premises at Guildford and before that near Guildford . He took over the Stylus build rights in 1996 and I bought my chassis 32 in 1997(Andy Bailey had chassis 14 --- Pete didn't start at number 1) .Pete had about 6/7 yrs selling 20 per year before moving to Wales to cut overheads, so he said at the time.

Re: Stylus Units Sold
I think Pete&Matt have the last road kit sold, which they say in earlier posts was in 2004.stylussprinter wrote:When we all went down to LLANDOW for the Stylus day in August 2007, Tim did come but at that point hadn't sold a kit for at least a year .

Tim then built his LHD IRS chassis for a customer order which was never sold/delivered - l think that's the last one & the chassis Tim was building up for his own use/demo.
Would need to get Tim in a pub to find out what else happened at the time & since, if you can find him
Numbers wise, it is fairly logical really & split into 3 groups.
Sylva / Jeremy supplied kits are SF or S prefix, with a 92-95 date + 2 digit chassis no.
Early ones are Fury chassis, late ones are Stylus.
Mike Burke has "no.17" and I think is the last Sylva supplied chassis.
At a guess - Approx 10-15 sold.
Specialist Sportscars - SSC(1) - are SSC prefix, with a 96 to 03 date + 2 digit chassis no.
All Stylus chassis, most live axle, some de-dion.
Starting Chassis No 10. No.10-24 made by Nev Powell
Latest chassis on the register is 114 (Whiterabbit). The only one that doesn't fit this is Giacomo's Italian demo car - No 179.
At a guess - Approx 100-110 sold
Stylus Sportscars - SSC(2) - are SSC prefix, not dated, then [R/S RT/Classic] [ L/I Live/Ind] [xxx Chass No]
Tim went his own way on numbering in an effort to start fresh & identify his own cars.
Not a happy story though - First car 010 was Alec's car, Last sold kit 013 was Pete&Matt, plus the LHD chassis 014.
I might be wrong, but I make that 5 cars that Tim produced. One day I'll ask him !
So low numbers, plus poor kitcar marketplace, plus illness, plus other troubles No wonder he decided to back out for a while
Overall - 115 to 130 Stylus chassis manufactured. Registered road cars - about 50.
Timewasting though it is - I quite like this detective work !
