Shipped to the USA in 1927 as a rolling chassis. In 1933 this lightweight and streamlined body was fitted for Alan Bemis to pull his glider up into the air. The car was designed to pull aircraft into the air. It was given an aluminium body with Plexiglas (Perspex) rear windows, fairly new materials in the 1930s. The dashboard was made of cast aluminium. The car had a fin shape at the rear and a tow hook on the back, while the roof had Perspex panels. Bemis built a racetrack around his estate where he held the 1934 Wayland GP and other events. The car left the states in the 1950s for Rhodesia. After Rhodesia’s Independence the car moved to Capetown South Africa. It returned to England in 1994.
