NERACAR
"SAFETY FIRST."
Fur safety Reliability, Strength, Cleanliness and Economy the NERACAR stands unrivalled.
1:
The NERACAR" was not built for excessive speed Un plain level 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 miles 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 spoed 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 galloa to 100 miles !
