INSTRUMENT BOARD. Very well fitted up.
BODY. Very quiet and very comfortable and extremely well painted 'DUCO'.
LUGGAGE GRID. Rolls-Royce pattern.
SPARE WHEEL & CARRIERS. Very clever design and light tubular.
Peculiarities.
Very practical automatic chassis lubricating device fitted, even ball ends of steering levers lubricated under pressure from dashboard.
Left-hand steering. 3-speed gearbox with central change gear and side brake lever.
Engine similar to our own by carb., exhaust pipes, tappets, water pump etc. - on O.S.
Steering wheel resembles 'S.G' model.
My impression is that the car lacks 'testing'.
Ps.
