TILE COACHWORK AND EQUIPMENT: The fabric saloon is entirely conventional
in appearance. There is a sliding roof which is easily worked from inside, and has various positions in which it can be adjusted. The spare wheel and tyre are carried at the rear, just beside the luggage carrier. There are chromium plated bumpers fore and aft, and wire wheels are supplied as standard. The body, itself is not large ; it only holds four people in comfort, but the seating is exceedingly well shaped, and there is plenty of head room with- out sacrificing the reasonably low appearance of the car as a whole. The upholstery is solidly finished in hide, and should stand hard wear without getting shabby quickly. Little refinements such as pockets in the doors, ash trays, windscreen wiper, and so forth have not been omitted, and the general comfort of the passengers has obviously been studied.
I would like to see the windows wind down all the way instead of only three-quarters, for the driver should be able to put his head out of the window easily ; the glass,- I was glad to see, was safety all round.
The front seats are of the movable bucket type ; the rear seat is tilted at the right angle to give support behind the knees, and has an arm rest on each side. These saloons are finished in blue or black, with upholstery of red, brown or blue to match.
Taken as a whole, this is a car in which one feels confident and comfortable after a very few minutes at the wheel.
