E. Shellard Jnr. tcrites “7 am 6ft. s in. tall , but my Morris Family Saloon seems built specially for me. Ido a trip of 75 miles over indifferent roads in 1 hour 50 minutes and at the end of the journey feel as fit as when I started. The usual time taken over this road by bigger cars is two to two-and-a-half hours. Its performance is simply marvellous—in all kinds of weather and road conditions .” Eldoret, Kenya Colony: Mr. Charles A. Lockwood made a 1,100 mile trip from Nairobi into Uganda , up to 9,100 feet and down to 3,000 feet —car “performed beautifully ” — highest speed 64 m.p.h. —55-57 m.p.h. mile after mile , car running smoothly and holding road well —trip included one stretch of 246 miles, covered in seven hours , half of that mileage over road consisting of two ruts with tall grass between .
