The Arab was an Englishautomobile designed by Reid Railton and manufactured between 1926 and 1928. The 1926 model sported a 2-liter engine, an ohcfour-cylinder with leaf-valve springs similar to those found on Parry Thomas's Leyland Eight. The Welshman died in 1927 attempting to break the World Land Speed Record, and with his death Railton lost interest in the Arab. This was something of a pity, as the two-seater was good for 80 mph, and the more powerful Super Sports was said to have been capable of going 90 mph.
The Arab was a high performance Englishautomobile designed by Reid Railton and manufactured in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, between 1926 and 1928.
Two and four seater bodies were available on the high chassis at £525 and probably only the two seater on the low chassis at £550.
Parry Thomas died in March 1927 attempting to break the World Land Speed Record in his car Babs, and with his death Railton lost interest in the Arab and the Letchworth works closed after only about 6 or 7 cars were made.
