The Golden Arrow's Successor

Immediate Aim Of Attaining Speed Of 300 M.P.H.

London, August 14.

The question of building a successor to Sir Henry Segrave's wonder-car, the Golden Arrow, will be discussed at a conference in London to-morrow between Capt. J. S. Irving, the designer of the

לי

Golden Arrow, and a number of British sportsmen. » If the negotia- tions, which will deal with the financial side, are successful, then an all-British car, designed to travel at nearly 300 miles an hour, will be built immediately,

"It will be an improvement on the

Golden Arrow, and the minimum speed of 285 miles an hour will be aimed at," stated one

of the promoters. "This wil be 30 miles an hour above the existing world land speed record. If the financial guarantees are forth coming, it is hoped that the car will be finished by about March, 1933. No driver has yet been definitely chosen."
