10,000 MILES ON 20 HP.

There has been a certain amount of delay in starting the endurance running in France because when the car arrived they discovered that the builders, who were repairing the garage, had not completed their work.

They have, however, carried out performance tests and the endurance test of 500 miles per day started yesterday.
