3081938 ALTA SUPERCHARGEDSPORTS TWO-SEATERRegistration no. GPL 3Chassis no. 66SEngine no. 66S1Ken Gammon, Crystal Palace, 1938© Ted Walker80 | Goodwood festival of speed
Of all the British sports car manufacturers that emerged in Britain duringthe ‘tween-war years of the 1920s-30s, Geoffrey Taylor’s Alta Car &Engineering Company of Surbiton, Surrey, became renowned as one ofthe most enthusiastic, utterly dedicated to the cause of producing highperformancefun cars for like-minded sporting gentlemen.Geoffrey Taylor was a remarkably hands-on engineer. He had actuallyhand-filed and crafted components for his first Alta engine upon thekitchen table at home.His first car had used an ABC chassis frame butfor his subsequent production models he bought-in frames made forhim by Rubery Owen in the Midlands. His first model used a 1074cc4-cylinder enginedeveloping around 49bhp unsupercharged or 76bhpwith supercharging. He made a choice of 4-speed non-synchromeshor pre-selector gearboxes available on the 13 Alta cars made between1931 and 1935.His later pre-war Alta cars were even more select, with ony six believedto have been made from 1935-39. They were equipped with 1496ccor 1961cc engines, featuring aluminium cylinder blocks, hemisphericalcombustion-chamber heads and chain-driven twin-overhead camshaftengines, in place of the shaft-drive system featured in the earlier units.With supercharger, these Alta engines were rated at 180bhp, giving atop speed approaching 120mph.This made the Alta one of the fastest pre-war sports cars and certainlyone of the fastest in the 2-litre class. In postwar years Geoffrey Taylorconcentrated upon single-seater racing car production, aspiring to bothFormula 1 and 2 level, before concentrating upon engine production forsupply to such emergent new marques as Cooper and Connaught.1Motor Cars | 81
