5" shorter than 'Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine)', hence springing can never be made really good.
(12) Carburation would require good petrol or water temperature carefully watching - there is only water heat to throttle, no hot spot by exhaust.
: (13) Chassis generally good but not excellent. It seems to be better fitted than the D.F.P. but it is too small to own as a small 4 seater - useful but infra dig.
