€1,000 - 1,500
The wheel was recovered from the wreckage of

‘BABS’ after a failed attempt at the land speed
record in which Parry-Thomas lost his life.
‘BABS’ started its life as Count Louis Zborowski’s
‘Chitty 4’, the largest capacity racing car to run at
Brooklands. Parry-Thomas purchased ‘Chitty 4’ for
£125, rebuilt it, and re-named it ‘BABS’, using the
car to break the land speed record in April 1926.
Upon learning that Henry Segrave intended to set a
new record of close to 200mph, Parry-Thomas took
‘BABS’ to Pendine Sands in Wales to improve on his
own record. During the attempt the car skidded and
turned over causing the car to be destroyed and
Parry-Thomas to lose his life. ‘BABS’ was buried
amongst the sand dunes at Pendine.
In 1962 ‘BABS’ was salvaged by Owen Wyn Owen
and although badly damaged and suffering from salt
water corrosion to the aluminium, the car was found
to be more complete than imagined. It was restored
and is now exhibited extensively. 78

Chessington, who installed a 1,725cc Sunbeam Alpine engine
and four-speed overdrive gearbox, while the handling was
improved by fitting a front anti-roll bar. More recently, since 2003,

marketed as the Trojan 200 - marked the company’s return to
motor manufacture after a break of 25 years. Three- and four-
wheeled versions were offered in both right- and left-hand drive
configurations. A little over 6,000 were built before Trojan quit
car production again in 1964. This left-hand drive model was
fully restored in 1997, including an engine rebuild and complete
rewiring, and comes with numerous related invoices. Since
completion it has been mostly kept in dry storage and was only
put back on the road last year to attend local classic vehicle
shows. We are advised by the vendor that he hopes to fit a
complete set of new chromed bumpers prior to sale. A particularly
noteworthy feature is the factory 5-day wind-up clock, an almost
unobtainable item nowadays. A box of spare parts comes with
the vehicle, to include engine components, an exhaust, sundry

Between its introduction in 1923 and 1932, the 665 (its hyphen was

improved. The gearboxes were reworked, engine sizes grew, short
