| JOHN SUMMERS & SONS, LIMITED, SHOTTON, CONTINUANCE No. 1. 13th February, 1937. I was rather interested to see in one of the motoring papers that there were two road reports, one of the 20 h.p. Rolls Royce, and one of the 6 cylinder Packard. The latter seems to have beaten the Rolls Royce in every respect, the secret being that it weighs 32 cwts and the Rolls Royce 42 cwts. The price of one was about £400 and the other about £2,000. What more need one say! Yours sincerely, Richard. | ||
