PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
1 am enclosing the .attached road-test comparisons, one concerning a recently published report on the Vauxhall Victor and one on the jowett Javelin published in The Moto?. in 1949.
It would appear to me that in the thirteen years between the two models that precious little progress has been made, especially in view of the fact that the test of the javelin was carried out using Pool petrol.
I very much doubt if the Vauxhall could equal the Javelin for comfort, but on the other hand I am rather envious of the four greasing points in comparison with the Twenty on the Javelin. But in spite of this. I shall still not consider parting with my Javelin, which can still hold its own with comparable cars in spite of its twelfth birthday coming up shortly.
