    The Autocar's caption: Streamlined for speed. "A special Hispano built in France in 1924 and provided with a wood body by the Nieuport Aviation Company. The car is the property of Mr Alex Keiller and is elaborately equipped, a duplicate set of instruments being installed for the rear passengers, together with Barker dipping headlights." The car finished 5th in the 1924 Targa Florio, driven by Andre Dubonnet. A second Hispano, slightly less flamboyant, stands behind.
