NERACAR
'SAFETY FIRST.
For safety. Rollability, Strength, Cleanliness and Economy the "NERACAR" stands unrivalled.
The "NERACAE" was not built for excessive speed.
·On plain lavel roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles, whilst on hills-such as the Chin Wan Hill-it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 milos on level roads or 20 miles up hills, the "NERACAR" has a reserve speed which is quite ample,
The "NERACAR " was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced, light two-wheeled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The "NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles!
