The Emeryson Formula 3 racing Car
The Emeryson Formula 3. 500cc racing car with BSAFWD transmission and either Norton or JAP engines producing approx 50 bhp were successfully raced during the late forties and early fifties, no differential was used and the front braking was inboard, which saved on the unsprung weight which tended to be high due to the large wheels and the BSA hookes joint wheel carriers.
