History Auto racing 1894-1942

1921 Italian Gp..........

 

The 1908 Brutus is given a spot on Jeremy Clarkson's new 'Clarkson Powered Up' video. The spot runs from 2:09 to 4:39 out of a 66 minute running time, so don't go out buying it just for that. But the sound and fury of that beast on the surround sound and watching it sliding around a F1 test track put that special smile on my face.

I don't think that is the Riley Falcon.

Where is that photo from, Shelsley or Prescott? I had a look through the results from both venue's but there is no mention of this car.

Sorry to be such a nuisance Keith. I did a little googling and found the name of the MG in question. Ian Baxter is the owner of the 1935 Bellevue Special. Now all that's left to find is some info regarding the construction of the car and that blower, the friction shocks and....

 

Is this the same SUNBEAM he would race in the INDY 500 in 1921?
