Headed to the Highlands Motor Festival today? Stop in Down the Rabbit Hole on your way and say hi. Cars and shopping, what a perfect combo! 🏎🛍

Coming to Highlands NC on June 13, 2026, will be this 1934 SS1 Open Sports Tourer made by SS Cars Ltd. The SS1 could be called Sir William Lyons’ prototype Jaguar. Delivered new to India in 1934, it was taxed as a “Racing Car – Light bodied.” Equipped with the 2.5-litre 20 HP engine and optional bonnet louvers used by SS factory cars to race in the Alpine Trials, it matches photographs of Open Sports Tourers racing in Calcutta in the 1930’s. As there were only 14 SS1's imported new into India, odds are the India tax records are correct.

202 Open Sports Tourers were built in 1934; less than 30 are known to exist today. This car was exported out of India and into England in the 1980's by a former Director of Cadbury’s Chocolates. When he became unable to drive 40 years later, this was the last car he sold – to us. It has been restored twice by the same English restorer and still has the original horsehair seats. The car has been driven in numerous events in the English Country Side and in the US. SS Cars Ltd. became Jaguar Cars Ltd.
