The SS 2 is a model of the automaker SS Cars Ltd . It was released at the same time as the SS 1 six-cylinder models in 1931 .

The SS 2 had a 9 HP engine, which, like the six-cylinder, was obtained from the Standard Motor Company . It was a four-cylinder in-line engine with 1,004 cm³ displacement and 28 bhp from the standard Little Nine, bodyworked as a coupé - a shortened and therefore perhaps more harmoniously proportioned version of the SS 1. The vehicle reached a top speed of 95 km / h.

From October 1933, the SS 2 was heavily revised and, similar to the SS 1 a year earlier, received a larger body. There were now two four-cylinder in-line engines to choose from, namely the 10 HP from the Standard Ten with 1,343 cc and 32 bhp and the 12 HP from the Standard Twelve with 1,608 cc and 38 bhp. The maximum speed of these cars was about 105 km / h. This revised SS 2 was available as a two-door tourer (open four-seater), a two-door coupé and a two-door sedan, which differed from the coupé only by the rear side windows.

When the series was discontinued in 1936, a total of around 1,790 vehicles had been produced. The successor was the SS Jaguar 1 ½ liter .
