Fictitious speed?

Sir,

May I suggest that Mr. Michael fits a new speedometer to his 100-m.p.h. Riley 1.5.

With a little luck he may then find that his car will be capable of exceeding 110 m.p.h.

I am, Yours, etc..

Anstey. – K. B. Smith.

[The “ton” was ever elusive and it is doubtful if anything like it can be had from a Riley 1.5 tuned only in respect of larger needles in the S.U.s. – Ed.]
