For the last time this year, the 24 litre Napier Railton was given a run at Brooklands Museum the other week. This is the car that holds the Outer Circuit lap record in perpetuity. The Museum has looked after the car for quite a few years now, but only recently has owned it, after a grant from the National Lottery Fund last year, they now own a car that was a star of Brooklands before the Second World War.

The car is normally run twice a year at the Museum, but can sometimes be seen at events such as the Goodwood festival of Speed.

The car has a custim-built chassis, its power unit being a 12 cylinder Lion aero engine that displaces 24 litres, which when wound up, has 500 bhp on tap.
