Interestingly the 1937 16/70 DH AC I mentioned in my JWF Restorations
post DOES have what appears to be a "leaping cat" affixed to the top of
the radiator cap. Considering the striking resemblance this car bears
to the SS100 I'm wondering if there was any connection; perhaps the same
coach builder, ala Bentley/Rolls Royce?
