This is chassis '0' now owned by George Wingard of the U.S.A. In 1914 it was the world's fastest racing car which was capable of taking on and beating Peugeot's best Grand Prix cars. What's a 406? Size matters, this is a 450! Sometimes now described as the Lotus of its time, Eddie Pullen used this car to good effect to take the 1914 Grand Prize.
