90 M.P.H. even under favourable conditions c.o. open. Suspension quite good, also road holding, naturally controlled dampers would be a great asset. The wind screen wipers should have attention, ours have again failed. The steering wheel rim is too smooth for driving with gloves. The ignition hand control range seems altogether too great. The hand throttle on our car is too rapid but is only a mock up I believe. We have seen two speed 20 Ulrises here but not going the right way. We hope to get into Italy today.
