Dear Hives, I have just been out in the most amazing motor car I have ever been in & with 4 other keen 40/50 RR owners. It is one of the new "sporting" type short wheel base "Type Boulogne" Hispano's. The only one in this country. The acceleration & the stopping power are unbelievable. Just a touch on the brake pedal at 50 mph & you stop at once. Beautiful light steering & sweet running quite quiet engine, not like the ordinary coarse Hispano. | ||
