The 1914 I i « Straight from the Factory, m m m m 12 and 16 h.p. (EXTRACT FROM THE FAMOUS M QTOR JOURNAL, "THE AUTO CAR ). "THE AUTOGAB," London, in one of its recent issues, devotes considerable space to the merits of the NEW DARRACQ CARS, from which the following is taken: — "The 12 h.p. and 16 h.p. Darracq models will continue to be the chief" types of these cars during 1914, but the 20-30 h.p. model with, an of 100x1.30 ra.m. will also be supplied, the two first named type* bare been altered almost out of recognition as cO'npared with this time last .year, and, as the designer now responsible for their production is, Mr Owen Clegg ,who was the designer of one of the most successful medium-power-ed cars now on the British market, one may reasonably expect that the alterations are also improvements." During the last few months the 12 h.p. and 16 h.p. Darracqs have been fitted with the poppet valve engines designed by Mr Clegg, replacing rotary valve engines which obtained in these cars for some time before that gentlemen took over the control of the works at Suresnos. As will be seen by what follows, the.other details of the chassis have now been re-designed, so that, as we have already intimated, the two models can now be termed new types when comparing them with the Darracqs of date .i 912 and early 1913." Both these Models are fitted, with C.A.V. Electric Lights, Nickel fittings, 1 Man Hood. Spare Wheel, and all the Latest Improvements in the motor world. C.A.V. SELF STARTER FITTED AT OPTION.
