Insiders Napier chat
A report by Jak Guyomar who probably never drove any other old car than Napier... To a simple amilcarist - being your editor - all this belows is not the easiest read. But we're quite sure tht any Napierman would have the same trouble reading Amilcar chat. So for all Napierrados around the world the full and unabridged report by Jak:
"Attached an informal photo of how to get home with a 100 year old Napier! Absolutely nothing wrong with the car—more than I can say for the driver! Old timer’s short term memory loss! Due to that I forgot to close the air regulator at a busy traffic lights! Only took me 4 hours to figure it out! The circa 1955 photo was after I rescued it and put it into a chicken shed. The Town & Country photo does not show my 6cyl Napier, but the car 2nd from the left is my 1914 T68 20hp car, which I am restoring. That's another story. Read considerably more under Read More...

In regards to the new building of 1911 for the Vancouver Napier dealership I mentioned it had capacity for 350 cars. That is wrong, it was 250 cars. This company also took on sales of Chalmers and Mors cars. The cars were moved from floor to floor with an elevator.

Ah Napiers, what fine cars. There were a good number of these cars sold in British Columbia at the Vancouver dealership A.S.French Motor Cars Ltd. In an October 1910 magazine article on the city's motoring scene it was reported that 120 orders were already in hand for cars to be delivered the following year. Also mentioned was that a new dealership building was being constructed which was completely fire proof being made of concrete. It was 60ft wide by 130ft long and five stories high, capable of handling 350 cars. I think Napiers were first sold in Vancouver around 1906 and there are many pictures of them but none that I have seen of the dealership building. If anyone has any information or pictures of these cars in B.C. could they please let me know as I am trying to record their history here.

Jack, congratulations on your recording so much history. This is so important for future custodians of our cars, be they Napier, Ford, Le Zèbre, Bianchi or Bean.
