THE HE<br />

A Plymout ymouth h called Kew<br />

A P<br />

Bruno Costers’ 1937 P4 Chrysler Kew<br />

was featured on the rear cover of<br />

BULLETIN <strong>15</strong>0, the January-<br />

February, 1985, issue.<br />

Bruno Coster’s 1937 P4 Chrysler Kew saloon was<br />

assembled at the Kew Works located in Surrey,<br />

England. Inheriting the ties Kew had with Chalmers-<br />

Massachusetts, which was later called United American<br />

production. Knocked-down vehicles were shipped to the<br />

United Kingdom and there assembled with right-hand-drive<br />

The motorcycle,<br />

The motorcycle, a 1922 Saroléa -- one-cylinder 550 cc. four-stroke -- is a<br />

Belgian make. Bruno has owned two Saroléa and one Peugeot motorcycles.<br />

-29-<br />

components added. Likely, the cars originated from<br />

the Windsor plant in Canada, as the U. K. had lower<br />

tariffs charged on goods manufactured in a fellow<br />

Commonwealth country. Even though Belgium . is a<br />

left-hand-drive country, some right-hand-drive cars<br />

were sold there. The Kew P4 was brought to<br />

Belgium by a friend of Bruno’s who sold it to him in<br />

1977.<br />

He has enjoyed the car for the past 33 years, taking<br />

it on many tours with his friend’s own 1937 P4, a<br />

Tüscher-bodied convertible that has now become the<br />

sedan’s stablemate. -- LDK
