stuny Posted November 24, 2020 Share #13942  Posted November 24, 2020 Jim - Not too long after making this car, they started using Duesenberg engines to replace their own 6 cylinder engine. Wilson - Year is correct (or very close to), car is not. Hektor - This marque produced its own bodies, not using a coachbuilder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted November 24, 2020 Share #13948  Posted November 24, 2020 "Daytona" because its maybe the first untuned US series car with a speed record of > 100 mph reached at  Daytona Beach in 1921. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted November 25, 2020 Share #13949  Posted November 25, 2020 One of those Paige Speedsters sold for only around $80,000 about 18 months ago at the Bonhams USA sale. I wonder if the one which broke the US mile speed record was fitted with the standard 70 BHP Continental engine or if a Duesenberg engine from the more expensive Paige-Linwood range of cars had quietly been slipped in. Wilson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted November 25, 2020 Share #13950  Posted November 25, 2020 Wilson, well possible but I think also a "good running" series engine would make that speed. The advertising drawings of Paige honestly show a "stripped down" car without fenders, windscreen, headlights etc. and this was the setup to get some extra speed in Daytona. The record can be found at the Contest Board of the AAA, maybe there are also further information about the engine installed. The maker promised their clients a speed of 80+ mph for a fully street legal series car.  p.s. All the performance works test cars I had were about +5 to +10% faster than the series "on paper" models. I guess some (software) work here and there and a preselection of engines were possibly helpful. I recall a Boxster S/Chrono (type 987 around 2009/2010) which was good for GPS measured 290+ km/h while on paper its top speed was 274 km/h. This was on the level of the 2020 718 GTS 4.0 (982) but 10 years earlier (which has  "on paper" DIN 90 hp more) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 25, 2020 Share #13951  Posted November 25, 2020 Well done, Ronald. The series name (6-66) refers to the 6 cylinder 66hp engine used at the beginning of the series run, a series with several body types. When they made the speed run on the flat, firm sands of Daytona it was stripped down as Ronald described. The actual speed was a bit over 102 mph. Regarding the "on paper vs actual," some manufacturers (such as Porsche) state conservative performance numbers. This car belongs to a collector who specializes in racing vehicles ranging from about 1910 - late 20th century. He has one of the few Cobra Daytona coupes - One of my favorites. Here's the full photo of the Paige, a photo of a reproduction of the ad showing the stripped body, and the radiator cap  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted November 25, 2020 Share #13952  Posted November 25, 2020 Jaguar used to be notorious for "improving" the engines in cars they sent to Motor and Autocar for road tests. I bought one of the 3.8L road test engines from Jaguar to replace the dying engine in my XK150S. We had it on the Lola engine dyno and it produced 285 BHP net when the official figure was 265 BHP gross, so no wonder their road test figures were very good. Just for starters, it had a wide angle, big valve D Type cylinder head. My son was working for JLR some considerable time ago and was involved in the preparation of the diesel Jaguar XJ6, which went from Geneva to Blackpool on one tank of fuel with Jeremy Clarkson driving. Other than the bodywork and interior, not one part of that was original or unmodified. Apparently the BBC had great difficulty filming it to look like a normal car, when it had been set up with very noticeably front to rear rake, to reduce the aerodynamic drag. Wilson 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2007 they gave me a 2008 model XJ6 (X358) with the Ford/Peugeot 2.7ltr. twin-turbo Diesel (AJD-V6). Although the car had nothing to do with the old XJ (series 1 -3) it was the last of the classic XJ design. Somehow I liked it for that, drove not bad and it took a while to accept the new XJ. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
