T.A.S.O.Mathieson has an entry in the appendix of his book A Pictorial Survey of Racing Cars 19919 to 1939 for the Ricart Espana. It's in the appendix because he had a photo and litte information about the car.

The Ricart Espana raced in local Spanish events in 1927. It had a 6-cylinder twin o.h.c. supercharged engine with bore and stroke: 64mm x 77mm (1485cc). The picture shows Elizabeth Junek at the wheel of the car.

Might be the same photo I have..is it stationary with Morawitz and Ricart standing beside the car? (Junek in the car)I wonder if the car exists..?

There is a picture of the Ricart Espana on the banking at Sitges (driver not named) on page 581 of Georgano's Enyclopaedia of Motor Sport.
