| -2- the standard limousine Wraith will have a performance inferior to that of the 25/30 which it replaces, and, of course, very much inferior to any American car at present sold on the English market. We attach a comparison on an engine size per ton of car basis taking the weight of 43 cwts. for the complete Wraith car. It is of interest to note that a 43 cwt Wraith will have considerably less top gear acceleration than either the P.III or the Bentley on the overdrive. Hm. {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
