James Milner Phillips

James Milner Phillips (1 July 1905, (Chelmsford) - December 1974 (Stow on the Wold)) was an English automotive engineer and businessman.

Their previous 'parrot nose' Dodge had shared a bonneted cab design with the first Leyland Comet and the Ford Thames ET.

[4] The first runs were made in 1960 Bonneville Salt Flats, but it was badly damaged in a high-speed crash and Campbell was seriously injured.

On his return to England, Phillips advocated bringing the record attempt forward to 1962 however he was overruled by Donald Campbell who argued that there was not enough time and the challenge was deferred to 1963.

[5] Weather also limited the speed achieved by the final runs in 1964, as the surface was too soft to allow the car's full performance.
