■ O A DO A “Of World- : I>AiIIIAVvY wide Fame-” • “WHAT MORE COULD ONE WISH FOR?” ’ Messrs. Botwood & Egerton, Motor Engineers, , Ipswich and Newmarket, write us as follows ’ January 16 th, 1907. 1 “We hear. such a lot about repair bills, and the short life of cars, that we think the • following will interest you. > This week we are overhauling a 15 h.p. Darracq, which we sold to a very well-known > gentleman 2 years and 8 months ago. This car, though it is in constant use. for long t and short journeys, has never been into any repair shop but our own, so we know for l certain of what we sav, and it is now over 12 months since we did any work whatever to her. . The original cylinders are still like new, the pistons and piston rings are as good as when new, and there is absolutely no-perceptible wear nt all. 1 The original big end bearings are still in, and the gears and back axle are splendid. I In all this time, except for an occasional puncture, there has scarcely been an involun- , tary stop, and the car is quite as fast and reliable as ever, and is still beautifully quiet. What more could one wish for ? And this is not a solitary instance, as every Darracq turned out and sold by us has 1 almost equally good records, and some even better.’’ J T.
