"Jim Byers’ SR-100...debuted in 1955.... Based on the earlier Meteor SR-1, which Byers developed with business partner Dick Jones, the SR-100 included some notable design changes (including a kick-up behind the doors, giving the car sculpted haunches); it is reminiscent of the AC Ace, various Ferrari barchettas and other rare postwar European roadsters without being derivative. It could be yours via Southern California for a pittance, plus some scrounged parts and sweat equity!
Road & Track’s John Bond liked the SR-100 so much he built his own and put another one on the cover of that publication’s February 1957 issue. In his feature story, he deemed it the “World’s Most Beautiful Sports Car.” "
