6 exhaust stubs, so it's not a Lion. Brooklands silencer, so it
probably ran there.


Outside Delaney's garage, a well-known haunt for such things

It was many, many years ago when I was last there, so my memory is 
pretty hazy, but in the Beaulieu Motor Museum there was the car that 
once gained the world speed record for a diesel engine.  I think it 
looked a bit like the one in the photos.

Probably not though.  You wouldn't put short open pipes on a diesel - it 
would be deafening.

I minor concern at the time I suspect, it's only in recent years that 
'noise pollution' and the health risks have been taken into 
consideration...

'Speed of the Wind' it was called and there was a Dinky Toy made of it. 
You're right about the speed record bit.  Eyston drove it - I don't know 
where or when, but I'm sure Google does.  However I'm off to bed...

Wonderful!  I wondered what "Speed of the Wind" looked like.

Didn't know there was a Dinky of it, although I have the Dinky of his
Thunderbolt.
