67 “A twin cylinder Anzani was tried and while solving the noise and vibration problems its marine style dynastarter charge rate was inadequate for the electrical loads required for a car, plus power output was barely adequate. A production/assembly line was set up at Encon Motors Ltd in Estcourt Road Fulham, Encon being part of the Allard group of companies. The Clipper was tested against the AC Petite and Bond mini car at Ranmore Common. The performance was judged satisfactory against the AC and better than the Bond. I did at least 100 plus miles testing the Clipper without any major problems however for those involved it was always felt it doomed to failure.”
