I revisited some of my sources for the Urquiola results and can report that the special Austin with which Arturo did, indeed, win three cups was a "tipo Brooklands" with a Roots supercharger. Still no photo, though.
I have found some mention of the Fahrt Durch Schlesien which, in its later editions, ran up a mountan near Breslau in Silesia during the mid to late 1920s. All such speed events in that area were banned after mid 1929 because of a number of fatal accidents. While I have found records of the outright winners of these and earlier editions back to 1921 there are no Austins mentioned so the successes are doubtless class wins.
Regards,
Stuart
