Record Breakers
I was watching the programme on Land Speed record Breakers on Channel 4 , and although it had some good archive footage , I noticed there was no mention of John Cobb. In fact he was the first man to top 350mph and also 400 mph ( only one way though).
While I was doing some research, one website stated that he drove an earlier incarnation of Parry Thomas'Babs. It went on to say that far from being "an old lorry chassis with chain drive " as stated in the programme , Babs was actually based on the ex Count Zabrowoski Higham special or Chitty Bang Bang
Can anyone confirm that.
