The average speed was 64.9 m.p.h. This victory was scored by cars modelled on the standard design of 7 h.p. chassis.

gloriously. Such rigorous tests bring to the lay mind the fundamental correctness of design, the basic soundness of workmanship, the outstanding dependability of all Austin cars. Your nearest Austin dealer will gladly demonstrate any Austin model. May we send you literature ?
