of Wimbledon

1925 Waters designed and raced the 350cc Jappic cyclecar with body by Jarvis and Sons. The car set a number of records at Brooklands

1925 April. 'An interesting feature of the motor race meeting at Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey, on Easter Monday will be the appearance on the track of the world's smallest racing car. It is called the Jappic, and is a single-seater with a tiny 350cc (3.5 h.p. A.C.U. rating) engine. In practice laps this little car has reached speed of 70 miles an hour. It will compete with cars with engines three or four times more powerful.'[1]
