WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE.
BY A BABY CAR
104 MILES TO THE GALLON
'At Brooklands recently a singleseater Morris Minor covered a flying mile at over 100 miles per hour, in both directions. This was rightly held to be a very meritorious performance.
Word has now been received that the same car, without supercharger, has put up an even more astounding performance. Under R.AC, supervision and observation, it covered 104 J miles on one gallon of petrol. This feat was accomplished on ordinary main roads, and the side valve engirte was fitted with a standard carburettor, incorporating a standard needle setting. A standard camshaft was-also employed. This, surely, is more than ordinary proof of the efficient design of this popular and attractive chassis.
