Oh, I insist.

It's only fair seeing that I've

been your guest this evening.

We'll wait for you in the lobby.

Sorry.

My gloves, please.

Thank you.

Yes, erm...

yes, well, er...

thank you very much.

Good night.

Taxi, sir?

Erm, no, no, erm... no, thanks.

I thought you might like to take

a little stroll. Ha ha.

So nice out tonight.

Yes, of course.

I'd like to offer you both

a lift,

but I've only got

a two-seater.

That's the most wonderful car

I ever saw.

The new Bellini 3.6.

I could offer one of you a lift.

No, thanks. We'll walk.

Pity, nice night for a drive,

wind through the hair,

all that sort of thing.

Yes, well, good night, Delauney.

Good night, Mr. Delauney.

It's been so nice meeting you.

The earth shook tonight.

You know, I've often thought of

buying a car, but...

well, then I think,

silly, really.

Buses and undergrounds and...

taxis, erm...

buses, and things.

Yes, I suppose it would be

a bit silly, really.

I say!

I just had a brilliant idea.

Why don't I pick up

our young lady

and drive her to the club

tomorrow?

Save her the bus fare.

That won't be necessary.

you're in the book?

Uh-huh.

2:
30?

Delauney!

Don't mention it old chap,

anytime.

Splendid!

She takes to the eye,

doesn't she?

She certainly does.

May I try the horn?

Certainly.

Dudley, gentleman would like

to try the horn.

The horn? Oh, yes,

certainly, sir.

Yeah,

it should give them

a fair warning.

Ha ha ha!

Beautiful tone, mellow,

more mellow than anything.

I've got a temporary flex

in there.

It's not really wired

for excessive use.

Oh, yes, one of the old-type

exhaustible horn,

runs on the helical friction

principle.

Oh, what's that?

Too complicated to explain.

I mean either you know,

or you don't.

Is she fast?

Is she fast?

Timed around Silverstone,

112.73 miles per hour,

and yours truly at the wheel.

And I drove her from Doncaster

to Newport, Monmouthshire,

in 2 hours 17 minutes. That's

an average of over 70 per.

Oh, but that's impossible.

Not with the four-litre

Swiftmobile,

twin ohc,

you know.

The pioneers of hemispherical

combustion chambers,

these people.

Well, name me one manufacturer

what brought it out previous.

Oh, well, I don't really know.

What year is she?

With this sort of car,

age is really of no account.

Between you and me, she's

a little late for my taste.

If I didn't know the car,

I'd have my doubts.

1922 was a really big year.

Erm, how about spares?

Ha ha ha.

Spares? You never need them,

my man.

Well, is the company

still in existence?

They went out of business

because they were too good.

You'd never find this kind

of quality

in a company that survived
