| - 2 - (5) My engine is quieter and smoother at all speeds from 40 to 60 m.p.h. I think I must have a particularly good one. To sum up, I honestly like my own car the best and I have come to the conclusion that if one wants higher maximums when touring the Continent it is necessary to go for the bigger engine and bigger car. I am afraid I have written you a very long letter which I hope you will excuse, bit I feel I ought to give you my personal opinions as you have been so good in arranging for me to try out the new 25 h.p., which I feel sure will meet with great success. Yours sincerely, (sgd) Bernard Hopps. | ||
