The second part of an article which commenced in the August issue, wherein is reviewed international 1½-litre racing from 1937-1940 THE first 1½-litre International fixture of the 1937 season…
A Projecta, or not?
A READER has sent in a rather faded post-card depicting a canoe shaped cycle-car standing under a banner saying “. . .Race”. The carts with very spindly, three-stud wire wheels and a single acetylene headlamp and it appears that the photograph has been printed inverted, as the car is shown as left hand drive, somewhat unlikely for the period which appears tube either immediately before or shortly after World War I.
Very few details of the car are discernible in the photograph, and the only cycle-car which we have come across which resembles it is a Project.. Than make was produced in the immediate pee’car years by the Percival White Engineering Company in North London and was equiPP:d with a V-twin J.A.P. engine and two speed belt transmission. The car differs from Ohnt.graPhs tif early Projectas in that it looks rather more substantial, as if it was a modified version, perhaps built specially for competition. Does anyone know whether a Projecta ever raced?
