legroom in the back and this could be gained without
material alteration to the body.

I thought the appearance of the wire wheels
would not please the type of person buying this car.

suitable for the type of body being, I thought, ugly
and bad from wind-resistance.

Taking all things into consideration I
would rather own this Bentley car than any car produced
under that name.

In the short time I was with the car it was
difficult to take in all its points, and the above
are only the things which seemed most obvious.
