1936 Rosengart v Ruby

[Mike Costigan]

With no running boards, and easy-clean wheels, the saloon looks more like a big seven. The idea of the bigger boot hung onto a Ruby might be good, but hanging the spare wheel on the outside looks a step too far.

Did the Rosengart have a bigger engine? The Ruby is low enough power to weight without hanging on a boot and the resultant luggage.

That's not so very different to loading up the Ruby's luggage rack. As far as I know, the Rosengart still has the 750cc engine - coupled with the three-speed gearbox I suspect it will be slower than a Ruby.
