This is particularly true of racing machines. The Bugattf in which A. V. Turner was killed, “lived” to win races. .So did tlie Zenith motor-cycle on which Dutton nict his death at Maroubra. The Miller in which aii American speed ace hurled to death iii the Indianapolis classic was repaired* and in the next 500-mile race was first over the line.

No ordinary car this, but a special factory “job” which cost £6OOO to make. It 'was badly smashed. But so, too, were some of the other fatal machines. Speedsters are interested in the situ-, at i dbi.
