  • Contested by gentleman driver Eddie Hall under the careful watch of Earl Howe, who yearned to field a British team at the Mille Miglia
  • Later sold to Australia and understood to have competed in the 1937 and 1938 Australian Grands Prix
  • Powered by a supercharged, 1.1-litre, inline-six petrol engine; rated in period for 120 brake horsepower
  • Retains its period-correct, Works-issued registration “JB 3181”
  • In current ownership for two decades
  • A regular at Goodwood Revival; highly eligible for many historic racing events and tours
