Performance comparison of the standard limousine Wraith against the 25/30 model and American cars.

the standard limousine Wraith will have a performance
inferior to that of the 25/30 which it replaces, and, of
course, very much inferior to any American car at present sold
on the English market.

We attach a comparison on an engine size per ton
of car basis taking the weight of 43 cwts. for the complete
Wraith car.

It is of interest to note that a 43 cwt Wraith
will have considerably less top gear acceleration than either
the P.III or the Bentley on the overdrive.
