1911 "THE BEST OF TURIN
The 1911 fait S76 Record was land speed record away from
the Blitzen Benz. Its four cylinder engine displaces 28 litres
and makes nearly 300bhp and sound like a fire breathing
dragon it did nearly 190kph over a mile and is deservingly
called the beast of turin.
1920 SUNBEAM 350HP
Purpose built for an 18.3 litre aero V12 , this race car
was built for hill climbs and road racing and set the
last ever lap record at Brooklands, the world first
racing circuit.The 60 degree engine was so complicated
the cams were driven by no less than 16 gears from the cranks.
1926 "BABS"
As the ultimate evolution of Count Louis Z borowski's
epic Chitty Bang Bang cars (the real life one ) in race
driver john parry Thomas hands, babs became an aero
engined 450bhp land speed record breaker with chain
drive!
1928 GOLDEN ARROW
major henry Segrave's Golden Arrow is proof that pure function is absolute beauty
with a 23.9 litre W12 Napier aero engine the Golden Arrow produced nearly a
theousand horsepower and could run a 370kph flying mile.
