wolfie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 GuysI have been looking at a Spitfire MK4 that is fitted with a 1300 engine the number of which starts with GK and ends with HESSI understand what the engine is and that it’s a large crank 1300 from the Herald range but what do the last numbers SS mean?The engine is correctly recorded on the V5.Could it be that this was a factory supplied engine fitted early in the cars life and that the SS is for Stanpart Spare? Just a guess.Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It is a factory supplied spare engine as you suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 No, that stands for 'Super Sport' - 150bhp, 140mph, special factory racing spec. We wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
