Talk:Silver Bullet (car)

NOT an aero - engine
The 2,000hp was built specifically for use in the Bullet and at no time was it intended as an aero-engine, onlkt as a pre-cursor to a POSSIBLE aero-engine family which never materialised.Petebutt (talk) 13:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)


 * From Brew's, Sunbeam Aero-Engines "from the outset he [Coatalen] insisted that this engine would form the beginnings of a radical programme to develop a large powerful aero-engine." This is just the same as he'd already done with the Mohawk (commissioned by the RNAS, but first developed in a car chassis) or the eventual ends of the Manitou and Matabele that were only ever installed in a couple of aircraft, yet were successful for racing with cars and boats.

“Motor Sport” article
My fading memory-branes recall a fairly comprehensive article on this car in the aforementioned mag, probably from mid-1976 as I recall it being around the time of the launch of the Rover SD1. Anyone got forty-five years of back issues in their Sheds? Mr Larrington (talk) 01:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
