The engine was not very compact and caused the bonnet to be much larger than on the R.R. The springs appeared to have no flexibility and had a considerable amount of camber in them, the driver explained that the springs were for a heavier body than was at the time fixed. Generally I do not think there was anything in the Siddeley car of very great importance and it did not compare at all favourably with the R.R. | ||
