ROUND and round 153 miles of road for 18,000 miles—how's that for a gruelling test? It was made with two 9 h.p. Standards before the cars were put into production. And what did it prove? That the Standard Nine does 37 to 40 miles per gallon, that it could easily maintain an average running speed of 26 miles per hour and do a steady 40 to 42 m.p.h. on the open road. That, at the end of 18,000 miles continuous running the Standard Nine remained in excellent order. In fact to put both the tested cars into first-class condition only £5 worth of spares was required! Car tests are often talked of, but here's one that proves altogether exceptional efficiency. And as for exceptional comfort, come for a ride in the Standard Nine, and prove that for yourself. the s!
