The reason for this was because of the high top gear, 3.8, fitted as an experiment. Changing into top did not bring about much increase in speed, being just under 82 m.p.h. counter had not yet been installed, but the comfortable speed in the gears were found to be 32, 54 and 77 m.p.h., giving an engine speed of about 4,400 r.p.m. The exhaust note was subdued, by the addition of a Derrington silencer to the standard arrangement, and altogether the stage was set for fast driving without giving offence.Ī rev. One's first impressions were that none of the brisk acceleration which is the most conspicuous feature of Nashes had been lost, but that the sturdy punch of the four had been replaced by a smoothness which made driving a real pleasure. To amplify still further the maker's claims of meeting individual requirements, any combination of engine and body can be supplied, giving an extraordinarily wide range of models.

This is largely due to the chain-drive transmission, which permits of a wide range of gear ratios without heavy expense.
