(2) Personally, I do not find any R.R. Car nowadays very easy to keep on the road at the higher speeds, but I must own I do not know to what extent I am justified in thinking this is a peculiarity of an R.R. or whether the condition would be found on all other high speed cars. I shall hope to have more information on this point soon, when I have had a run on a Lanchester which I have made arrangements for, and also on a Lancia. F.H. Enclosure CJ7/D22.1.20. | ||
