Made to Order. EX127 was the Magic Midget, the 750 cc. single-seater record car, with oblique transmission, which, after a great deal of trying, in the face of all manner of misfortunes, was to achieve 120 mph, again in the hands of George Eyston. It had a long and arduous life, and in 1935, when owned and driven by the German, Kohlrausch, put the standing mile for Class H to 93.4 mph. and the flying mile to 140.6 mph. In 1937 EX127 was bought by Mercedes Benz, some say on Hitler’s orders, to be used in aerodynamic tests.
