1923 chummy

[Tony Griffiths]

What is the handling like without shocks?

I could live with no speedo, starter, or fan - but not without a little steering.

In the context of contemporary use the steering - especially for someone new to driving and unaccustomed to how a car should handle - would probably have been satisfactory. However, today, it would be very much of an adventure with the narrow beaded-edge tyres giving an even lighter, more direct feel than the wider and softer well-base types of later years and the lack of dampers - even a basic friction type - giving a floating ride. This is a car probably best enjoyed as the sun rises on a fine, summer morning.
