Sole Batten model family, built from shortened and rear-narrowed 1932 Ford Model 18 chassis. Early cars had stark racing bodies retaining Ford grille panels; later examples became more refined, while low weight of about 989 kg enabled speeds exceeding 100 mph. Approximately ten were built and used successfully in trials and races.
