This SS1 saloon underwent a total 'ground upwards' restoration between 1995 and 2002, paying great attention to detail which was overseen by Tony Robinson of North Stables, with on the ground co-ordination of the project carried out by Rob Green of Gloria Coachwork. The 2½-litre Standard engine was completely rebuilt, a new ash body frame constructed by Roger Wing, the sliding sunroof reconstructed, and many body panels renewed, after which the car was repainted in black and re-trimmed in brown Connolly leather with sunburst-effect door panels. Other noteworthy features include an SS mascot, hexagonal instrumentation, wire wheels and concealed trafficators, all of which are authentic. 'WAS 238' has covered fewer than 100 miles since the restoration's completion and has been stored in an air conditioned environment. Accompanying documentation consists of restoration invoices totalling circa £30,000, a photographic record of the restoration, a 1934 Workshop Manual for the model, current MoT certificate and a V5C registration document.
