"L'Auto," the French motoring paper, May 11th, says: "With reforence to the team of-'De Dions, it is certain that, ordinary touring models as they were, driven by amateurs, they achieved quite a prominent place against racers driven by professionals. The engine used in them was the classic De Dion of 80 m/m bore, and the cars were genuine little touring cars. What would they have done if they had been specially constructed for the race, and driven by professionals?" Catalogues containing full particulars of De Dion cars, post free.
