I think the 37 has an integral head with the cylinder block, assuming it is the same as the 8 cyl 35. I wondered about a GP Salmson San Sebastian.

The body looks so Bugattiish and the Salmson San Sebastian compressor should be on the left side of the engine.

Raced as T35 at Brooklands. so initially a T35 (1925, chassis 4450 with T 37 brakes).

Sold without the T35 engine. After the Squire liquidation the former owner could purchase one of the rare Anzani R1 engines, car then brought to Australia in 1938. Still alive as hektors photo shows.

The Cozette supercharger made me wonder and brought me onto that trace.

Well done Rona!d.

The original alloy wheels could not cope with Brooklands, so fitted with wire wheels.

Our next door neighbour at our last house, had a two cylinder old British Anzani Outboard hanging up in his workshop. He said it was for a racing hydroplane. One of these things he kept meant to get round to repairing but I don't think he ever did.

Hydroplanes are among the most insane racing vehicles I can imagine.

Seems the pilots wear oxygen masks.

And here the dragsters of hydroplanes (only straights) 10.000 hp - 3.11 sec. from 0 to 265 mph.

Ronald, 

I think the British Anzani hydroplane outboard would have been a bit more modest than that. From remembering the external size of the engine, I would guess 250-350cc or maybe 500cc at the absolute maximum. Now knowing that a pre-war racing motorcycle Scott Flying Squirrel 2 cylinder two stroke of 600cc had around 30-35 BHP, I would guess that the Anzani racing outboard might have had 20-25 BHP at the most, so maybe not totally hair-raising, like the modern hydroplanes are. I have seen photos of the prewar small British Class B hydroplanes and they are more like a large water ski, so maybe scary enough with just 25 BHP.

Wilson, completely different world, I know. Saw some of those old wooden race boats in collections. Lovely.

My links were just for the speed freaks 😉  Not "my" world as a classic wooden sailboat enthusiast.

And here the next entry. Maker and model please, extra points for the designer. Unrestored condition as you can clearly see.

As model I accept the name you can find in a 1960s automotive book and also the name the designer gave it and you can see on the car today.
