The Halford Special at Brooklands Museum
The Halford Special at Brooklands Museum
(information here from the Brooklands web site).
1500cc 6 cylinders, twin overhead camshaft, the world's first turbo-charged car.
In 1923 Major Frank Halford realised that aero-engine design was far ahead of racing car engine design. He bought a crashed short chassis Aston Martin and built an engine specially for this car.
The car first appeared at Brooklands as the AM-Halford but, after fitting a new radiator to reduce cooling problems, it was renamed the Halford Special.
The design was very advanced for its day - 1,500 cc. with a turbo supercharger mounted on the exhaust. The turbo did not work well in practice and it was soon replaced by a Roots type supercharger.
