Count Louis Zborowski in his Indianapolis Ballot. This was the car that Dick Howey was killed in when competing in France in 1926. The car was pushed overboard into the Channel from the Ship bringing his body home.

The event in France was in Boulogne and is the last big hill on the old Grand Prix circuit.(A bit more info here.) Those who have been on the bicycle rally will know it well!

Beg leave to express a different view - I have been told that Zborowski's car, identified by a patch on the lower right of the radiator core, is the one currently being restored in Hampshire - or did the whole team have that same patch? Not visible here, but clear on earlier posts on this site!

Please Mr Guest tell us more about the Ballot being restored in Hampshire. Is it the one Denis Jenkinson identified as being in USA in his Directory of Historic Racing Cars.

Not the USA car, but the one that spent sixty years in Australia.
