Most of my friends and acquaintances are of the undivided opinion that there are hundreds of new Knight chassis waiting for sale in the various showrooms, including a large number in the B.S.A. showroom at Birmingham. I am trying to find out from some friends here the reason why a man in Duffield who has had a Knight-Daimler chassis has lately bought a Sunbeam, which, I am sorry to say, in this case broke down and was towed home by one of our friends, the half time wheel having smashed up on the first journey.
