Daihatsu Compagno GT Tested for Pace and Polish
Leonard Ward reviews a compact Daihatsu GT derived Compagno Berlina with 64 bhp, twin Solex carburettor, and dual exhaust. He praises high speed stability and steering accuracy, notes decent interior trim and wood finish panel, but highlights limited rear leg room, early engine tightness, and higher cabin noise at mid speeds. He reports cruising comfort at 70 mph, top speed around indicated 110 mph, and overall strong road manners for a small car.
