| 1378 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/SW. 23rd February, 1941. The Editor, The Autocar, Dorset House, Stamford Street, LONDON, .S.E.1. Dear Sir, Replying to your letter of February 19th. It is perfectly true that in 1934 and 1935 the engine in Hall's car was a 3½ litre, and that in 1936 it was a 4¼ litre. In every case however, the same chassis was used, merely the engine being changed over. In the 1936 race Hall's practice car was another 4¼ litre, which he fitted with the body and wings which had been used in the 1934 and 1935 races. He fitted B.35.AE with a new body and wings as well as the 4¼ litre for the 1936 race. Yours sincerely, | ||
