i * (Received 2.30 p.m.)" j - LONDON,, March 22. Seeking fresh opponents, the racing motbrist, Freddie Dixon, is planning r to stagger the motoring world with an unconventional car of his own design, capable of beating Sir Malcolm Campbell’s record of 301 m.p.h., says ‘the “Daily Mail’s” motoring correspondent. “It will resemble a dart in shape, with all the weight in front, and will have an engine of only 60 h.p.,” said Dixon. “However, the car should be able to do 350 m.p.h. on three-quarter ‘ throttle,” he added, without disclosing how this was achieved.
