Alec Issigonis was one of the class winners in the first English sprint meeting held after World War II, a ½ mile event at Filton Aerodrome, near Bristol. Issigonis returned 32.0 seconds with the lightweight Special, built by himself and George Dawson shortly before the war. The fastest run was made by Bob Gerard (1½ litre ERA) in a time of 26.3 seconds.
