1913 London-Exeter-London Reliability Trial
Note: This is a sub-section of London-Exeter-London Reliability Trial
Held on the 26th December 1913
57 CYCLECAR AND LIGHT CAR LONDON-EXETER ENTRIES.[1]
The following is the list of entries for the London-Exeter-London reliability trial, to be held on Boxing Day. It will be seen that the list is an extremely representative one, and that most of the well-known makes are included. The contest should, for this reason, be most instructive and interesting, as it will enable numerous deductions to be made and comparisons to be drawn concerning the various types, here are, of course, almost certain to be failures due to more or less accidental causes, but, at the same time, there will, in all probability, be troubles arising from other causes, and it is these that the motoring public is the most interested in. The results will therefore be awaited with keen interest.
