Ten capitals in four days

Sir,

Thank you for another classic in motoring journalism—”Ten European Capitals in Four Days”. Congratulations on endurance of all concerned, BMW 3.0 CSL included.

I suppose it’s a sign of the times when “Jaguar said very firmly that they could not find a car” and when BMW Concessionaires (GB) Ltd. “were immediately enthusiastic and helpful”. Take heed, for the writing is on the wall for all to see!

It’s difficult to believe that “someone” in the Jaguar empire could not produce an XJ12 for such an epic trip, even if they had sold all the production line. Keep up the good work.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
