Description:his in one of Invicta’s best-known models. The company had many endurance records to its credit with the intrepid Miss Violet Cordery driving a 3-litre. These records were intended to show the toughness and reliability of the firm’s cars, rather than their speed, which in fact in the early models was rather limited (little over 60 mph) given their cylinder capacity. The 4½-litre S derived from the 4½-litre Standard, but had a much lower chassis. Its Meadows engine had a compression ratio of 1:6.8 of 1:7.1. The car’s success was compromised by an accident in 1931, at Brooklands, in which the driver ‘Sammy’ Davis was hurt. It was attributed to the car’s bad road-holding ability, due to an incorrect weight-distribution, or too low centre of gravity.
