I like the flat boot (sorry, trunk) with the fuel filler flap behind the rear window.

I think the rear vision may of been dominated by those jumbo-sized headrests; the aftermarket aero-screen sales would of been kinda limited.

cheers

The headlights are a little too odd for me, and the rollhoops and interior are also a little odd. I love the S2K the way it turned out though!

I don't think 5 cylinder is unique. I believe the Vigor is 5 cylinder and there are other cars like that too. It's rare, but not unique.

Cool pics. I'd seen them before, but never the interior. Kinda crazy. IMHO

I gotta say, I kind of like the headlights. Why?

Look at the picture of the front of the SSM car. Notice how the expression is kind of mean- like a lizard eying its prey?

Now look at our car- the expression is like a smiling tad-pole or frog! Something that has already eaten its prey. Too friendly! Still aggressive looking, but in a smirking kind of way.

I tell you what though- I'd love to take those useless fake brake air scoops on either side and drop a full fog light/cover in there. I'm talking about something with a cover that would sit flush with the bumper and fill the entire recessed area smoothly. But I wouldn't mess with it unless there was a kit available.

Hmmm looks like that last picture might have been reversed at one point ... I wasn't aware that there was a left-hand-drive SSM made

I love it, especially the whole tail (w/o 3rd brake light & ugly spoiler), and the big H in the front...lovely. A bit Maserati-esque maybe, but I'm sur it could be manufactured...anyone?

I could be wrong , but I believe SSM used to RED line at 10000 rpm. I have to find my old magazines.
