"Home - bodied" Singer project

I'd be very interested to know what car that was, and what it won outright. By 1935 / 36 the Austin 7 racers were definitely under the MG cosh.

Ok - so I followed it up and I was wrong on the date - apparantly 1930 was the year and he won being handicapped. I suspect it is the car referred to here

"Later that year on October 4th, the car, driven by Hindmarsh and Wolfe finished 2nd in class in the B.R.D.C. 500 Mile outer circuit race at an average speed of 103.52 mph. The overall race winner was Freddie March, the present Earl’s grandfather, partnered by Sammy Davis driving a tiny Austin Seven which trounced all of the larger cars after a handicap start."

Now I really like that. Looks like a pile of fun - it may not be massively fast but the bare bones nature of it more than makes up for it.
