A Racecar Named “Romulus”
MANY histories of racing-cars have been written, but mostly they were about makes and types of cars, not individual vehicles, and even “Blue Bird” was a succession of different machines which sometimes even took to the water. There is one individual racing-car, however, which deserves a biography—the E.R.A. “Romulus.”
As a small boy my love of cars and motor sport meant I went to every race meeting my late Father could afford to take me to. The books written by Prince Chula Chakrabongse made fascinating reading for a small boy and they covered his recollections of the career of his cousin, Prince Birabongse—alias B. Bira—when there really were not that many books on motor racing. Over the years, others came along, including George Monkhouse and Sammy Davies.
