The biggest British
car at the 1930 Olympia Motor Show,
this impressive saloon could cruise
at 160 km/h (100 mph) and was very
easy to handle. In 1956 a lightened
and tuned 8 ltr was timed at 226.7
km/h (141.7 mph) for the flying kilometre.
This exhibit was rebodied by Van den
Plas in 1938. Only 100 of these exclusive
cars were made.
6 cylinders, 44.9 hp, 1100 mm bore,
140 mm stroke, 7983 cc (220 bhp at
3500 rpm). Dual ignition.
