It was driven in the race by
Richard and Geoffrey Bradford and is a 1929 Riley Brooklands with a tuned
version of the Riley Nine's 1,087cc 4-cylinder inline engine. The Riley Nine
was designed by two of the Riley brothers, Percy and Stanley, and the
Brooklands was the work of John G Parry Thomas and Reid Railton who shortened
the chassis by some 15 inches and fitted an undershield the full length of the
car. The engine had high compression pistons, special camshafts and 2
carburettors, increasing its output to 50bhp.
