    I think this is what you are referring to - it's a very interesting booklet, well worth having. Includes period road tests of the 1933 Essex Terraplane Eight and the 1934 Railton Light Sports Tourer. Phenomenal performance for the time! The LST did 0-60 in 8.8 seconds on a very tall rear axle ratio of 3.3: I think it was. I learnt a lot from this fascinating booklet.
