Vintage Postbag, May 1973
Carnivals Sir, One can appreciate the editor's distaste of fetes, carnivals, etc., in which veteran and vintage cars are featured as publicity gimmicks, but not all of them fall victims…
W. H. Dorman and Co., Ltd., well-known as makers of engines of all sizes, have been developing their 4 R.O. Type power unit, which is made in two sizes, 69 mm. and 120 mm. and 75 mm. and ‘2°mm—four-cylinders in each case. An absolutely standard model of the smaller type recently drove a chassis weighing 18 cwts. at a speed of 72 m.p.h., so that it is obvious that, ” hotted up,” it should be capable of a very fine performance indeed.
