Sir,

I am afriOd I cannot solve the mystery of what Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians was doing in a 1922 GP Fiat MS p. 1754, but I think that the presence of the bulb horn may be accounted for by the fact that it was, I believe, customary at that period for Grand Prix Fiats to be driven from the ttmrks at T’urin to the race venue, even if it was as Nr away as Strasbourg. I have often thought that at might add interest to the current Formula One Scene if the regulations stipulated that all competing cars must travel under their own power for at least, say, 100 kilometres on ordinary roads on their way to the circuit. Perhaps GSA and FOCA would like to argue about that one. Incidentally, that must have been quite something of a bulh horn on the 1922 Fiat if it could make itself heard in wmpetition with a racing engine at full no without a silencer. Perhaps it was only used, in a manner popular with Paris taxi drivers 10 the time, while the car was held up in a traffic block. George Nympton, Devon KENT KARSLAKE
