| Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Side by side tests corroborated the clock figures. We give below the figures of an Autocar test of a Lagonda given in the issue of June 30th. 1939 with corresponding figures for Comet (11.B.V). 11.B.V. Lagonda. 20 - 40 m.p.h. - 6.0 secs. 20 - 40 m.p.h. - 10.2 sec. 30 - 50 m.p.h. - 6.6 secs. 30 - 50 m.p.h. - 10.0. secs. These results are materially the same as ours. If you wish, a more detailed explanation could be given to explain the issue at the next chassis conference. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
