-2- data, dimensions etc of the Ford car. The brakes on this car although smooth in action were not very powerful, and the brake-rod layout is not good, no servo of any kind is used. The general design of the car is full of originality, and it would be good value at a very much higher price. The best points of the car were, I think, the steering and entire absence of any signs of jelly effect, the acceleration and general handiness of car. These features in comparison with cars of any price, and a high standard of silence and smoothness are only exceeded by cars of high price. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} [Stamp] RECEIVED | ||
