| -3- Ha.4/LI.22.6.33. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Our experience by trying all the supercharged cars which are at present being produced confirms that we were perfectly right in deciding on the unsupercharged car. This does not mean that we think there is no future for superchargers. We believe eventually superchargers may become a standard fitting. It is interesting to note all the criticisms which were raised were based on cars of our own production, that is - (1) The car was too much like a E.R. (2) No.2 Bentley is not as fast as No.1 Bentley. Nothing has been suggested that we have a competitor producing a better or more suitable car. Ha. | ||
