manage to drive these cars with safety. The power unit is of course an excellent piece of work and the acceleration marvellous, but I am sure that we could beat it from point to point with our existing 20/25 HP. car which is at least 10 m.p.h. slower purely owing to the fact that we can corner.

Again many thanks for your letter,

(Kind regards to yourself and Mrs Olley,

Yours sincerely,
