Re: Small export engine for 120?

I wonder if there is any way to determine what is "outstanding" performance on the small engine as compared to the larger engine or were they comparing to some British cars of the day.

So if my understanding of how it worked and the conversion is correct, at 1935 rates there would be a difference of about 12 dollars in tax between the two engines. Is that correct?? If so, I guess in 1935 that was more substantial amount than it would seem today but what kind of other taxes were imposed. Was there a substantial price difference between the same model cars with the two engines so taxes on the purchase price also came into the mix.
