F#62 - Solved - 1933 Murray Jamieson's Austin Seven Special

[faksta]

This time I'm not sure in the name I've found for this car, so your business is to identify the donor and to specify what was the story behind this particular example. Two points for this.

[faksta]

Any ideas here?

Well, it's obviously an Austin 7 special of some sort, but I can't say I recognise it of its driver/constructor
The road surface looks bad enough to be Brooklands, but the aerodynamic arrangements look relatively modern.

[faksta]

Austin 7 base is true, of course.

Further move.

Interesting...what such a bodywork could be used for? 

[Allemano]

Speed record breaker?

[faksta]

Yes. Anyone for more precise information?

Built by Murray Jamieson?

[faksta]

Yes! Although in 1934 a British Class H record result of 122,74mph was shown on it by Pat Driscoll as far as I know.

That looks like a Brooklands silencer so the car probably set records at Brooklands.

According to Denis Jenkinson, Murray Jamieson  designed the 1936 twin cam Austin 7 and was responsible for Austin racing car development, so presumably he was involved with the earlier side valve record breakers .
