The car ran perfectly, and I never hed the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives to the many claims you make for it. The silence, smooth- bi of running, and power of acceleration on hills, is really remarkable. My petrol consumption was 16 miles to the gallon, inelud- ing & great deal of driving in traffic. The tyres show no ap- preciable signs of wear, and I think it will prove light on tyres. I am really delighted with the car.--Yours sincerely, (Signed) C. A. BOONE, of Toronto, Canada.
