LENOVO4D A roadster tested new by the author sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 9.7 seconds, flew through the standing-start quarter-mile in 18.0 seconds at 86 mph, and could run at precisely 100 mph on the flat at a relatively relaxed 4,390 rpm. While repeated German bombing raids during the Blitz reduced much of Coventry to rubble, SS Cars was comparatively lucky: its facilities suffered only a single direct enemy hit for the duration, though it did considerable damage.
