British Union, the 1938 Pomeroy racing car proposal

[pertti_jarla]

For several reasons I am very interested in the Pomeroy "British Union" racer proposal which was published in the Motor magazine in November-December 1938. I have already ordered the magazine issue with drawings. Before making some kind of a three view drawing of the car, I would like to make sure that such a thing doesn't exist already?

Attached is an image from the Pomeroy-Moss book "Design and Behaviour of the Racing Car"

This isn't Larry Pomeroy's daft V16 idea is it?

There's probably loads of drawings in "BRM V16: How Britain's auto makers built a Grand Prix car to beat the world"

Somehow I remember that that two are related but I know not how.

At any rate, the picture you posted reminds me very much of the Jaguar XK120, at least in outside form anyway.

Yes that exactly! I am mostly interested in the body shape for slot car modelling etc. There are mentions, but surprisingly no drawings in the Ludvigsen book or volume 1 of Doug Nye's BRM saga.
