Description
Henry Segrave with the Golden Arrow, Daytona Beach, Florida, USA, 1929. Following his record breaking success with the 1000hp Sunbeam, Henry Segrave announced a new attempt was to be made in an all-new car. The Golden Arrow was designed by JS Irving and used a Napier Lion aero-engine of the Special 930 hp Schneider Trophy Type. The twelve cylinders were in a W formation. The car's low line design was achieved by the use of twin propeller shafts each side of the driver. Segrave drove Golden Arrow to a new record of 231.362 mph (372.341 kph) at Daytona Beach, Florida, on 11th March 1929. (Photo by National Motor Museum/Heritage Images/Getty Images)
