Irving had left Sunbeam and his new employers, Humfrey-Sandberg, granted him permission to use part of his time designing and constructing "Golden Arrow" for ex-Sunbeam driver Henry Segrave. "Golden Arrow" was, Segrave said, very docile compared with other cars of its kind. After the first trial run when he established no goggles were necessary at Segrave drove the car up some planks to get it off the beach then drove it back along the main street of Daytona to its garage.
