Archer} Montagne -------------------------- Enclosed please find photograph together with negative of the above car taken at the entrance gate of an old 16th Century Chateau (Chateau de Challes-les-Eaux-Savoie) which Mr. La{L. A. Archer} Montagne thinks may be of interest for the Bulletin. Mr. La{L. A. Archer} Montagne makes the following remarks :- " If you can use this for the Bulletin you are welcome to it. The photo has been retouched as it should be. Your photographer will see it. " This is the "Wraith" standing in front of an old 16th Century entrance gate at the Chateau de Challes-les-Eaux en Savoie. " I did all the hill climbing of the Savoie & Alp mountains with it. It is very handy in bad places and a good slow hill climber-very comfortable , easy to drive- holds the road well , but has no "pep" and is passed on the road by every "tin Lizzie" imaginable. I am pleased with it however for my purpose." "Sr" | ||
