" In July, Alexandrova gave O'Brien his first win in the Irish Oaks with a four- length victory. O'Brien said, "She has an electric turn of speed that I have never seen from a filly and she has an amazing '0-60'. You don't mind if they go fast or slow as her change of speed is so rapid. She is really special.

After a major suspension geometry issue was resolved during the course of the Bathurst weekend, the car showed a sudden turn of speed. He finished 4th at Surfers Paradise, then scored a stunning race win in the wet at Symmons Plains, the first victory of any kind (race or round) for a Perkins Engineering entry since 2006. Kelly finished the season in 12th position.

Despite its full keel design, owners report that when the wind picks up, the Alberg 29 can point quite high and has a good turn of speed." In a review Richard Sherwood wrote, "While the Alberg 29 has a full keel, it is not long. The bow and counter combine to give a short, 22-foot 3-inch waterline. The bow is fine, the keel cut away.

The Talbot was a predominantly white, slow, deep- throated, scent hound. At some point the Talbots were crossed with Greyhounds to give them an extra turn of speed, but they remained comparatively slow dogs that relied more on their nose than speed in the chase.Smith p.209 The North Country Beagle was a large, bony hound with a square head, and long trailing ears.

The ships were designed by Yarrow to operate in shallow, fast-flowing rivers, with a shallow draught and a good turn of speed to counter river flow. They were fitted with two reciprocating (VTE) engines operating two propeller shafts to offer some redundancy. The propellers were housed in tunnels to minimise the operating draught. The main armament consisted of two 6 inch guns in single mountings fore and aft.

The use of three separate sets of valve gear on the 1930 batch eased maintenance and improved the standardisation of parts. The prototype was rebuilt to the same specification as the 1930 batch, creating a robust workhorse capable of a good turn of speed when working heavy passenger and freight trains. The revised valve gear layout was subsequently applied to the 3-cylinder U1 and V class designs.Banks (2001), p.

Accompanied by William de Roches, his seneschal in Anjou, he swung his mercenary army rapidly south to protect her. His turn of speed caught Arthur by surprise and the entire rebel leadership were taken prisoner at the battle of Mirebeau. With his southern flank weakening, Philip was forced to withdraw in the east and turn south himself to contain John's army. John's position in France was considerably strengthened by the victory at Mirebeau.

Marsh was born in Stoke-on-Trent and was a star performer in the youth teams at Stoke City. A boyhood Stoke fan Marsh realised his dream making his debut against Arsenal on the opening day of the 1967–68. He made the right back position his own the following season making 30 appearances. Marsh was a combative right- back who had good control and a fair turn of speed for a small chunky player.

"Texaco 13" at the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago), c. 2007 is a testament to the 1930s "Golden era" of air racing and Frank Hawks. In 1930, Hawks proposed that Texaco replace the lost "Texaco Five" with a revolutionary new racing aircraft, the Travel Air Type R Mystery Ship that had been debuted at the 1929 National Air Races where its turn-of-speed saw it best the latest U.S. Army and U.S. Navy fighters.Hull 1979, pp. 22–23.

Autocar's staff drove the 2-seater car for ten days covering some 400 miles. The control turning the engine into an air brake is sufficient for most purposes and the double band brakes are only needed for the steepest hills or an emergency stop. Turning the car at a very sharp angle puts greater tension on the ignition or throttle control and the engine speed is upset. The car has a good turn of speed and climbs extremely well hills.

Pre-1963 CA77s were considered as well-equipped touring/commuter bikes — not particularly sporting, but reliable and comfortable, with a turn of speed much better than many larger-capacity bikes. Like the earlier dry-sump bikes, there were high- exhaust sports version, the CS72 and CS77, and the corresponding American market CSA72 and CSA77. The C72/C77 was exported to Europe, Britain, Australia and other markets, and sold in some numbers, although as it was comparatively expensive, not as well as hoped.

By the start of the 1906–07 season, Williams was considered one of the best wings in all of the Home Nations. He was noted for his turn of speed, clever dodging, and determined running for the line. So, when the touring team from travelled to Swansea, and Billy Trew was unavailable due to injury, Williams earned his first cap for on 1 December 1906. Wales lost the game, the first defeat at home in 11 years, outclassed in every part of the game.

Transit was the name given to three sailing vessels designed and built to the order of Captain Richard Hall Gower. All three had fine lines at bow and stern, uniform frames mid-ships with concave and convex sweeps and a deep keel. Their length to beam ratio was unusually high, giving them a remarkable turn of speed. The foremast was square rigged while the other three or four masts were fore-and-aft rigged, barquentine fashion but carrying very simplified standing and running rigging.

On 8 January 1944 she was involved in a minor collision with the American tanker Hat Creek in New York harbour. During the World War II, she travelled and carried over 340,000 troops. Mauretania was not designed to be an exceptionally fast ship and during six years of war duty, her engines had received little attention but still achieved a turn of speed in 1945 making the passage from Bombay to the UK via the Cape at an average speed of . After the war's end, Mauretania made several further voyages for the government repatriating troops.

Northern Routemasters were well liked by their crews: the high axle ratio meant a good turn of speed on long-distance routes such as Newcastle to Darlington, and power steering was well appreciated on busy urban services in Gateshead and Sunderland. Their service in the north also produced the odd sight of a Routemaster with a rollsign "X1 Scandinavia", connecting with the DFDS ferry from North Shields to Scandinavia. However, throughout the 1970s it became increasingly uneconomic to have conductors on inter-urban services. Despite driver and customer satisfaction, Northern had little option but to replace them.

RAF V8, and Briggs felt his first task was to persuade Mr de Garis to replace this with a DH4. In test flights at Glenroy on 3 July Briggs viewed the Boulton and Paul as "a nice little machine with a fair turn of speed", but not rugged enough for the work ahead. Francis Stewart Briggs (left inset) and Clement John de Garis (right inset) in front of their Boulton and Paul P9 aircraft, July 1920 On 6 July Briggs made his first trip to Sydney, with de Garis as passenger. They flew from Mildura (de Garis' base) and reached Goulburn at dusk.

Frederick Arthur Laws (21 July 1877 – 1 April 1954) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington in New Zealand from 1897 to 1910, and one match for Hawke's Bay in 1898. An opening bowler and middle-order batsman, Laws's best performance came in Wellington's match against the touring MCC in 1906-07. He took five wickets in the drawn match, showing a "promising turn of speed", and top-scored for Wellington with 47 with some bold stroke play. After he retired from playing he became an umpire, standing in one Plunket Shield match in 1912-13.

He played 10 of the 26 matches, including the second and third tests, and captained the team on a number of occasions. Graham was an intelligent player with a great turn of speed, and became one of the most intelligent and fastest loose forwards in the All Black side. When Wilson Whineray retired after the tour of Great Britain in 1964, Graham took over the All Black captaincy, a position he held until retiring from rugby in 1965. He had played a total of 31 games for the All Blacks (seven as captain), and a total of 22 tests (three as captain).

1930 A second order was placed with Henschel & Son for eighteen locomotives which were delivered in 1928. These were followed by a third order, placed with Maffei in 1928, for a final batch of ten locomotives which were delivered in that same year. They were superheated, had bar frames and used Walschaerts valve gear. Its good turn of speed and reasonably high tractive effort made the Class GF Double Pacific a good utility locomotive and, with 65 units, the class was the most numerous Garratt type in SAR service until the arrival of the Class GMA and Class GMAM in 1954.

He played his last test on 7 August 1971 at the age of 35 as a lock against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Du Preez was an excellent all-round footballer, and like Australian lock John Eales, he was that rare phenomenon: a lock that could kick and even drop kick. Although he was not particularly tall, he was a tower of strength in the line-out. In addition he had a fantastic turn of speed and fine running skills with ball in hand, as he showed in the try he scored against the British Lions in 1968.

Originally from California Gully, Norris came to Melbourne and played for Northcote in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) before receiving a transfer to Collingwood in July 1910. Playing mostly as a follower, Norris made up for his 178 cm with a good turn of speed as indicated by his victory in three footraces earlier that year. A gripman on the tramways Norris competed at the employees picnic coming first in the Denham Plate (all-comers), gripmen and 440 yards events. He continued to place in similar events for much of his career despite the fact he debuted in the VFL aged 28.

Joining Everton, his debut came against Middlesbrough where he scored a goal. Geldard formed a duet with striker Tommy Lawton, by producing good crosses for him to head home. Tony Matthews described Geldard as; "Geldard was a slippery customer who possessed an exceptional turn of speed, could shoot with both feet and enjoyed taking on opponents, either on the outside or inside." Taking part in the cup-tie of the century on 30 January 1935, Geldard scored two goals to help Everton progress into the fifth round of the 1935 FA Cup after the 6–4 defeat of Sunderland.

He "gave a favourable impression" in a trial with Leeds United, "combin[ing] accurate passing with a fair turn of speed". Hutchinson appeared three times in the Third Division for Darlington. After "making an impressive debut at outside left" in a 1–0 win away to Southport, he opened the scoring away to Mansfield Town, but his side let slip a three- goal lead to the prolific Harry Johnson's second-half hat-trick. He kept his place for the next match, at home to Rotherham United, but the club did not extend his stay, new signing Tom Callaghan being preferred at outside left.

He played his first senior match for the Melbourne Football Club, aged 19, against St Kilda, at the Junction Oval on 14 May 1898 (round one). He played in three senior matches: against St Kilda on 14 May 1898, against Carlton on 21 May 1898 ("Royle, a back man with a tremendous turn of speed, also showed well. He did a fine sprint with the ball at top speed, full half the length of the [MCG], on one occasion"),Young Kicks Six Goals, The Argus, (Monday 23 May 1898), p.3. and against Collingwood on 24 May 1898.

Robalan was a champion New Zealand pacer Standardbred horse, known as "Robby". He is notable in that he won the 1974 NZ Trotting Cup, the richest harness race in New Zealand, and for his epic contests with champion pacer Young Quinn who he more than often beat and is particularly well remembered for being a free legged pacer.Harness Racing - Complete Race History of the New Zealand Trotting Cup He won the New Zealand Cup in 1974 over 3200 meters beating the hot favorite Young Quinn. He had the distinction of racing without hopples (free legged pacer) and was known for his phenomenal turn of speed.

For the next season, his place was with the reserves until injuries saw him line out in a League game against Sligo in early February, on the weekend before the first round 1952 FAI Cup clash versus St Patrick's Athletic. This time there was no going back to the reserves. A superb Cup game secured his place for the remainder of the season, thanks to a merciless sliding tackle and a deceptive turn of speed. A tough tackling, uncompromising defender, by the season's end he had in his possession a coveted FAI Cup medal, after Dundalk defeated Cork Athletic in a final replay, an Amateur international Cap against Scotland.

Some Metroriders also featured the optional turbocharged Cummins engine, increasing further their already impressive turn of speed. Disc brakes are fitted all round on the longer Metrorider, as opposed to drums on the short vehicles. Hemel Bus Metrorider in Hemel Hempstead in 1992 The styling was a major advance on the earlier van-based conversions, having a raked front with large windscreen and side windows to give a light interior. With shallower steps, wider entrance, and generous headroom, the passenger environment was certainly a great improvement on what had come before, with up to 25 (or 33 in the long version) seats comfortably accommodated.

Cigarette card depicting Thickitt playing for Sheffield United. By 1893 Sheffield United had become one of the top sides in the country but had not forgotten about Thickitt and signed him from Rotherham Town for £30 in November of that year, two seasons after his initial trial. Thickitt was immediately installed as first choice right back for the Bramall Lane club, a position he retained for almost ten years. Although described at the time as a big, sturdy man he had a surprising turn of speed and this, in conjunction with his tackling and willingness to work hard endeared him to the fans and the club alike.

Tennessee, however, believes certain inanimate objects to have hearts and minds of their own and tries to befriend the car, naming it Herbie. Jim's feelings about his new acquisition soon improve when it appears that Herbie is intent on bringing him and Carole together. He also discovers Herbie to have an incredible turn of speed for a car of his size and decides to take him racing. After watching Jim and Herbie win their first race together, Thorndyke, himself a major force on the local racing scene, offers to cancel the remaining payments Jim owes on Herbie if Jim can win a race that they will both be competing in at Riverside later that month.

Although he was a "solid, reliable performer at full back with a good turn of speed", he found first-team chances hard to come by, making only six appearances in his four years with the "Saints". The return of Dan Gordon in 1911 reduced his chances of regular football even further and in July 1912, the Saints accepted an offer of £100 from Liverpool of the Football League First Division. On Merseyside, he again found few opportunities of first-team football and in three seasons at Anfield, his only Football League appearance came on 15 April 1914 when he replaced regular right-back Ephraim Longworth in a 2–1 defeat against Manchester United.

The Falmouth Cutter is expensive for such a small boat, used boats are also expensive and only a few come onto the market each year." A 2015 review in Blue Water boats stated, "It’s said the best way to describe the performance of this diminutive cutter is to prepare yourself for a vessel that’s only 21 feet on the waterline, then be pleasantly surprised by the relative turn of speed, with the key word being "relative". True to design her seaworthiness in a blow is remarkable and, like most heavy displacement boats, she retains a slow easy motion in trade wind type sailing. She’ll also track well down the face of large swells.

While the 2-8-8-2 had been built in the United States since 1909,E. W. King, Jr. in Drury pp.298–299 most development work had gone into making subsequent locomotives larger and heavier. The Norfolk and Western Railway however, had taken development in a different direction. By using smaller cylinders and higher boiler pressure, the result was a locomotive capable of powerful performance, and a turn of speed higher than the maximum of the ‘traditional’ designs. The USRA 2-8-8-2 drew heavily on the Norfolk and Western Railway’s Y-2 class locomotive design, as their delegate to the 2-8-8-2 design committee had brought a full set of blueprints.

The design goals for the boat were established by the first customer, "a gentleman who asked Crocker for a stout boat that would handle the seas on Buzzards Bay and south of Cape Cod, have a good turn of speed, a large cockpit for sailing with friends and a comfortable cabin for occasional overnighting." The Stone Horse is a recreational keelboat, designed as a fast racer and cruiser for the Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay waters of the US east coast. The boats built between 1931 and World War Two were made from wood. The design was later built with Airex core fiberglass construction, with wood trim and built from 1968 to 2010.

Yates won fifteen races in total for the ACBB and also finished third in the prestigious individual time trial Grand Prix des Nations which was won by Martial Gayant. Yates had developed a reputation as a strong time trialist and for an incredible turn of speed and power. He turned professional in 1982 for Peugeot riding alongside Graham Jones, Phil Anderson, Robert Millar and Stephen Roche. He stayed with Peugeot for six seasons and became British professional individual pursuit champion in 1982 and 1983. In 1988 riding for Fagor, he won the sixth stage of the Tour de France, a 52 km time-trial, beating Roberto Visentini by 14 seconds and Tony Rominger by 23 seconds.

On her first appearance as a three-year-old Chrono Genesis started 1.1/1 favourite for the Grade 2 Daily High Queen Cup (a trial for the Oka Sho) over 1800 metres at Toyo on 11 February. She came from sixth place on the final turn to win by a neck and half a length from Beach Samba and Jodie. In the Oka Sho over 1600 metres at Hanshin on 7 April the filly started the 4.7/1 third choice in the betting behind Danon Fantasy and Gran Alegria. After racing in mid-division Chrono Genesis was switched to the outside and produced a "powerful turn of speed" to take third place behind Gran Alegria and Shigeru Pink Dia.

Nicknamed "Cocky", Bennett started his career with his home town club of Mexborough, where his form prompted Sheffield United to try and sign him on a number of occasions although both he and his father held out for a better deal. He eventually signed for the Blades in 1896 for a transfer fee of £10. Initially supporters felt Bennett had a surly attitude and was not fit enough to play at the top level as he was a heavy, thick-set man. Dropping two stones following a fitness regime, however, he showed a good turn of speed and became a mainstay of the Blades side that dominated the game in that period.

With Boston on the and Eric Ashton playing at right-, Wigan had one of the best combinations in the history of the game. Both players scored doubles in Wigan's 1959–60 Northern Rugby Football League season Championship final victory. Boston had an astonishing turn of speed for a big man and had the ultimate side step and was also able to hand off opponents with apparent ease. Boston also played 31 games for Great Britain, and was the first player to score four tries in a game against New Zealand. He was the first non-white player to be selected to tour Australia and New Zealand in 1954, on which he set a new record of 36 tries in 18 games.

Born in Goldenhill, Stoke-upon-Trent, and joined Stoke from amateur side Goldenhill Wanderers as a 16-year-old in February 1898. Weighing 11 st (70 kg) and standing at 6 ft (1.83 m) Bradley played at wing half and oozed class. The Sentinel described him as having an old head on young shoulders with "a fine turn of speed who tackles with excellent judgement". As a consequence of Alex Raisbeck's transfer to Liverpool, Bradley found himself part of a youthful, hard working half-back line featuring 23-year-old Alf Wood and fellow teenager Edward Parsons and in the first season of this trio Stoke reached their first FA Cup semi-final losing out 3–1 to Derby County.

Soon after his move to Ninian Park, manager Cyril Spiers moved him to centre forward following the arrival of Mike Tiddy, where his devastating turn of speed immediately produced instant rewards, with 14 goals coming in the 1950–51 season as Cardiff finished in third place in the Second Division. The following season Cardiff went one better finishing in second place, thus gaining promotion to the First Division. During Cardiff's promotion season Grant was top scorer with 26 goals, the first 19 of which were at home. Shortly after Cardiff secured their place in the top flight, Grant's superb form earned him a call up to the England 'B' team for a match against their French equivalents on 22 May 1952.

Bentley was born in Sheffield where he attended Lowfield Council School. He captained the Sheffield Boys football team that faced London Schools in the inaugural English Schools' Football Association (ESFA) championship in 1905, and received a glowing profile the following year in the Yorkshire Telegraph & Star, highlighting his "fine turn of speed" and claiming that "it is not a reckless prophecy to suggest that he will, before many years have elapsed, be appearing in distinguished company, for he has all the attributes of a successful player." He played for Heeley Friends before joining First Division club The Wednesday in 1910. He eventually made his first appearance for the senior team in April 1914, and took his chance the following season.

In the polling for British Horse of the Year, organised by the Racegoers Club, Habibti won the title with 23 of the 26 votes. She was also the winner of the Gilbey Champion Racehorse award, based on points accrued by performances in major races during the season. As a four-year-old she was rated at 80 by the International Classification and 123 by Timeform, which summed up her career by describing her as "a magnificent filly with a blistering turn of speed". In their book, A Century of Champions, based on the Timeform rating system, John Randall and Tony Morris rated Habibti the fifteenth best filly and the seventeenth best sprinter to have been trained in Britain or Ireland in the 20th century.

On 3 September, Sanedtki started favourite for the Prix du Rond Point over 1600 metres at Longchamp but was beaten into second place by the British colt Homing to whom she was conceding six pounds. Sanedtki clashed with Homing again in the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp three weeks later, when the other runner included Nishapour (Poule d'Essai des Poulains), Kenmare, Carwhite (Prix d'Ispahan) and Dom Racine (Prix Jean Prat). The filly was held up by Lequeux at the rear of the field as Homing set a strong pace. In the straight, Sanedtki produced what Timeform described as a "breathtaking turn of speed" overtaking the whole field and winning by two lengths from Homing, with a gap of five lengths back to Nishapour in third.

Contemporary reports described him as: ::"A forward of the bustling type, a good tackler, with a rare turn of speed, and a man who can last the full eighty minutes." After he retired from the game in 1931, he became a respected referee and handled county games in his third season; and elected to the international panel of referees in 1937. As a referee he officiated at the North versus South match at Twickenham, England versus The Rest of the World, and the English Midlands versus the New Zealand All Blacks; in addition to several international trial games. He served as Cumberland and Westmorland Rugby Union County president between 1956 and 1958, and afterwards elected one of its few life members.

The complexion of the race was affected by an "epidemic of coughing" which ruled out Straitlace, Hurstwood and Bright Knight: Sansovino, St Germans, Polyphontes (Eclipse Stakes) and Salmon-Trout himself were also reportedly affected. Salmon-Trout was restrained at the rear of the field by Carslake and looked to have no chance of winning a furlong out as Santorb challenged the favourite Polyphontes for the lead. He then produced a remarkable turn of speed, took the lead in the closing stages, and crossed the finishing line two lengths clear of Santorb, with Polyphontes half length back in third. Before the race many bookmakers had lengthened their odds against Salmon-Trout on the basis of supposed "inside information" suggesting that the colt could not win, and some sustained heavy losses on the race as a result.

Shortly before the race a half-share in the colt was sold for $1 million to the Derisley Wood Stud, despite the fact that he was still a maiden after four races. At Ascot he was again opposed by Last Fandango and Final Straw, but the lightly-raced Dalsaan was made the odds-on favourite, with Posse starting the 11/2 third choice in the betting. Eddery rode the colt with great confidence, restraining him towards the back of the field and he was still only in fifth place with a furlong and a half to run. Posse then moved up on the outside, and produced what Timeform described as a "dazzling turn of speed" to overtake Final Straw well inside the final furlong and win very easily by one and a half lengths.

167 Its first operation, Operation Postmaster, was in January 1942, when March-Phillipps led the seizure of an Italian liner, a German tanker and a yacht from Fernando Po. The SSRF used HM MTB 344, a motor torpedo boat nicknamed The Little Pisser because of its outstanding turn of speed. The SSRF carried out a number of cross-channel operations, but had mixed fortunes. Operation Barricade and Operation Dryad were complete successes, but Operation Aquatint, on 12/13 September 1942 at Sainte-Honorine on the coast of Normandy, resulted in the loss of all the men involved, including March-Phillipps. One member of the raiding party, Captain Graham Hayes MC, managed to reach France and eventually made his way to Spain, but was betrayed by a French double agent and handed to the Germans.

Mountford was born in Kidderminster and began his career playing for local side Kidderminster Harriers before joining Stoke City in December 1942 for a fee of £40. During the War League Mountford established himself in Bob McGrory's side as a right winger providing crosses for Tommy Sale and namesake Frank Mountford. With Stanley Matthews on wartime duty with Blackpool Mountford took his number 7 shirt and Matthews struggled to win it back. Whilst he was not as talented as Matthews, Mountford made up for it with his hard work and possessed a good turn of speed which often took him into goalscoring opportunities. Throughout the 1946–47 season Matthews and Mountford both vied for the right wing position and when Matthews suffered an injury early in the campaign Mountford took his place.

In 2002 the team ran a second car for Sarah Fisher, who became the first woman in North American motorsports history to win the pole position for a major-league open-wheel race, earning the pole at Kentucky Speedway. In the 2006 Indianapolis 500, the team's second car was driven by Al Unser Jr.. The team's only win came in their debut race, 2000 IRL season opener at Walt Disney World Speedway, when Buhl stunned the series with a win from the 22nd starting position. In 2006 the team scored their best finish in years when Ryan Briscoe showed a great turn of speed in the wet at Watkins Glen International to get on the podium. During that time, other good results in the season were few and far between.

At the end of the season, he returned to the Southern League to join Wellingborough where he spent a season, followed by a year back at Kettering, before moving to the Southern League champions, Southampton, in May 1904 to replace Dick Evans who had been forced to retire through ill health and injuries. Webb joined the "Saints" with a reputation as a "brilliant wing man (who) had a fine turn of speed, with his centres and long shots being particular features of his play". He made his debut in the opening match of the 1904–05 season, a 2–1 victory a Luton Town. During his one season at The Dell, Webb was in and out of the side making a total of 19 first-team appearances with five goals, with former England international Archie Turner competing with him for the outside-right berth.

"Sell Up and Sail: Pursue the Dream" - Bill & Laurel Cooper - 9780713674033 - Bloomsbury Publishing UK- Adlard Coles Nautical The special features of the motorsailer (large engine, smaller sails, etc.) mean that, while it may not be the fastest boat under sail, the vessel is easily handled by a small crew. As such, it can be ideal for a retired couple who might not be able to handle large sail areas. In heavy weather, the motorsailer's large engine allows it to punch into a headwind when necessary to make a landfall, without endless tacking to windward. An alternative choice for motorsailer owners who wish to have a sailing vessel that is easier to handle is to choose a catamaran, which provides a stable sailing platform that, even with a modest sail area and small engines, will give both a good turn of speed and a comfortable passage.

For 1963, Parnell sold one to Bob Anderson and ran another for Chris Amon, who was rarely successful, though he ran seventh in the British Grand Prix; Anderson did better, winning the (non-championship) Rome Grand Prix as a privateer. Efforts on a Formula Junior car, Mark 5, through 1962 led to nine sales but only limited success; an improved Mark 5A gave Richard Attwood a win in the Monaco Grand Prix Junior event. The 1963 Racing Car Show debuted the sensational Mark 6 (Lola GT), a trendsetter into the '70s. It featured a Ford 4.2-litre (255ci) V8 and Colotti four-speed box under a sleek fiberglass body, showing good handling and "a remarkable turn of speed"Twite, p.1215. for only 250 hp (186 kW), enough to put it in the running for the 1963 Vingt-Quatre Heurs du Mans until the gearbox balked and David Hobbs crashed.

He signed for Southport in 1931 as replacement for Joe Roberts; the Lancashire Daily Post wrote that he was "regarded as a good capture, being ideally built, with a good turn of speed and accurate ball control." His early performances were reported on with enthusiasm, but a knee injury sustained in mid-September interrupted his progress, He had cartilage surgery in November, and the 1–0 win against New Brighton on 24 October proved to be his last appearance, new arrival Fred Dobson having proved successful on the left wing. Ison moved on at the end of the season to Watford, scored the winner in the opening Southern Section match of the season, away to Norwich City, was replaced in the team by Jack Barnes for the fourth match, and never played for them again. He returned to non-league football in 1933, spending three years with Ramsgate Athletic while working in the building trade.

According to the Derby Daily Telegraph, he "has the build and weight for the position, and he adds to a nice turn of speed and dash a cleverness in ball distribution which enables him to keep both his wings going." He finished the season with 17 goals from his 39 appearances in all competitions. His performances earned him a transfer to the ambitious Portsmouth club, where the local newspaper, the Evening News, suggested he was chosen because he played in "what is now known to be 'the Pompey style': constructive, unselfish, thoughtful, determined, and – when necessary – forceful", and "should do well in the more congenial surroundings at Fratton Park with real football, rather than the tearaway and haphazard conditions in vogue at Darlington". On the opening day of the season, "the best goal of the match came when McKenzie, obtaining twenty-five yards out, side-stepped an opponent, and shot, at a tremendous pace, into the corner of the net" to complete a 3–1 win against local rivals Southampton.

Although playing with a suspect knee for his last few seasons at Richmond, Swift always gave his best; and, considering his knee problems, he had a surprising turn of speed. He ended his career at full-back, having played as a half-forward flanker and ruck-rover for his last few seasons, and only moving to full-back in the last half of his last season, in place of the injured Mick Erwin. Jack Dyer had suggested the move, on the basis of his own experience with a similar sort of knee injury, Dyer argued that, of all the positions on the field, full-back was the best for Swift, because he would have almost all of his play in front of him, and almost all of his running would be straight ahead, with a minimum of turns and sideways movement. In his first full match in 1967 at full-back, in round 16 (16 August 1967), against Hawthorn, at Glenferrie Oval, despite fears that he was too short to play against Hawthorn's champion full- forward, Peter Hudson, who was 3½ inches taller,Carter, R., "Fred Swift gets full-back job in Richmond Side", The Age, (Friday, 11 August 1967), p.22.
