STOP PRESS NURBURG RING, Sunday, June 16th, 1935.

The first appearance of the 2-litre model in competition was attended with marked success, the car winning the 2-litre sports class at the Eifel meeting at an average speed of 63 m.p.h. over this severe road-circuit. This was also the fastest sports car time of the day (all classes, 750 c.c. up to 7,000 c.c).
