I'm sure someone might correct me......but I believe Richard Noble broke the world land speed record in 1983 with 'Thrust 2' [633.468 mph]....which used Reynolds tubing as part of the construction.

Hi list, all this talk of Reynolds other applications reminds me of motorcycle frames. Reynolds played a big part in Britain's motorcycle industry. Not surprising as the motorcycle started as little more than a motorised bicycle. 531 tubing was often specified on racing frames, and Reynolds themselves were frequently involved in the design and supply of frames . Reynolds figures prominently in Norton's international competition history. I wouldn't be suprised if Reynolds also had a hand in racing car tubular frame structures as well.
