Members' Cars - Carvel Webb"I have been fascinated by the SS Jaguar range of cars from my school days," says Carvel Webb from South Africa. So when an opportunity arose to get his hands on one early in his working career in 1970, he jumped at it. The car was a 2½ litre Saloon which had been modified at some stage in its distant past to resemble an SS drophead tourer as the various pictures prior to the current stripdown show. Carvel continues:
"At this point unfortunately 'disaster' struck. We noticed a series of fine cracks developing all over the paintwork and on closer examination
discovered that a very thick layer of spray-on body putty had been used (up to 3mm thick in some places) which was separating from the base metal.
Carvel has now entrusted further work on the car to a local restorer.
