I would be curious to know how a 10HP car pulls a family of 4 around ? The (up to) 40 mpg I can understand, cause it ain't got no dang power 😂

I had one of these, my first car, 1172 cc side valve engine, vacuum wipers, rod operated drum brakes and 3 speed crash gear box (stick shift, no synchromesh). Interesting for a novice driver, learned a lot...

but...did it make 55mph ?

Never found a downhill stretch long enough!
