| Head Lamps. The lighting from the Lucas Grave P.50.B head lamps is effective and the diming scheme good, but we have already had to replace one bulb after, 1,500 miles. Average petrol consumption is.........I6.m.p.g. No oil has been required during the first, 2,000 miles. Sir Henry has expressed complete satisfaction, both with the running and riding of the car, and regards it as the best effort in bodywork we have had at Le-Canadel. He thought the third gear seemed quieter than when he tried the car at Wittering, but I do not think there is any change of note. The fact of the second gear being rather noisy makes one put the third gear on a higher level. L. Dodd | ||
