mrscharroo most interesting photos on FlickeFlu

No right clicking on that site, but a Google search for "teardrop car" will turn it up to a savable jpg.

The caption says it a Goliath 700-GP record car 688cc 1951.

This 3-wheeled Goliath racing car has set 38 still standing world records in the under one-liter class. Very impressive, but realize that in the era of microcars the records were rather non-standard, such as 2-hour / 3-hour / 4-hour etcetera duration or 300 mile / 400 mile / 200 km / 300 km etcetera records for under one-liter cars. There were dozens of such world records to settle (just define a new goal) or to break.
Is there somebody who can recall some of the Goliath records?


Another Goliath product.
