Note: This is a sub-section of 1913 Brooklands Calendar

'At Brooklands yesterday, in scorchingly hot sunshine, the 13.8 Scottish built sleeve valve Argyll car improved upon its own record performance for the fourteen hours accomplished only last week, and in addition beat all the incidental world's records from seven hours and 600 miles upwards. The fastest speed of the Argyll since it began beating records was that for six hundred miles, which were covered at the rate of 7q.12 miles per hour. The distance covered in the fourteen-hours was 1070 miles 57 yards, a speed of 76.43 m.p.h., whereas its previous best was 1016 miles 437 yards, a pace of 72.50.'
