In fact, although Parry Thomas was born in Wrexham, he spent most of his childhood and was educated in Oswestry.

This car broke the land speed record in April 1926 (171 mph). The driver/owner (John Parry-Thomas) was born in Wrexham, he was the sun of the curate of Rhosddu. 

BABS has a 12 cylinder 27 litre engine (a liberty engine!) - it is chain driven. an interesting piece of engineering!

This is an event to take your children and grandchildren to see - there is quite a story about the amazing discovery and restoration of BABS
