Quote from Autocar - 9th March 1951
"In the very short space of one seasons competitive racing in Formula events, the team of HWM cars, the only British Grand Prix cars competing in international races, have built up an enviable reputation with organisers and spectators alike. In fact, it would not be going too far to say that they have done more for British Prestige in Continental motor racing circles than any other single marque."
