A NEW IMPERIAL OWNER SAYS

Dear Sirs, 12/9/38.

On Saturday at Brooklands the New Imperial was once again successful in securing a Premier Award. I have been so satisfied with my Model 110 Spring Frame that a brief history of its 18 month’s life would be interesting. Lands End Trial, 1937. First-class Award, in which j carried six eggs on the Sprung Carrier, which remained unbroken throughout the Trial. Edinburgh Trial, 1937. Another First-class Award. Clubman Day at Brooklands, 1937, Clocked over 80 m.p.h. August, 1937. I did a fourteen days’ tour through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and France. This with a pillion passenger and a lot of luggage, Donington, 1937. Fourth in the 50 mile Race, fully equipped. August, 1938. A fourteen day trip to North Africa in which we crossed the Atlas Mountains and part of the Desert beyond. Nearly 3,000 miles, again with pillion passenger and lots of luggage. On the return journey I did from the South of France to Paris (424 miles) In one day and during the next six days used my machine for going to work, and then straight to Brooklands for the Race last Saturday. Without any practise whatsoever, and after only changing a Plug I was able to cover 27 laps in the hour — an average of over 75 m.p.h. This Machine has had a more varied and strenuous career than any other I have ever owned and is still practically in Show Room condition.

I enclose some Photographs which you may find interesting.—

Yours faithfully,
