Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/AD5.9.30. POSITION OF SPARE WHEELS. During our last visit to W.W. we understood from Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} that very few cars were being delivered carrying a spare wheel at the rear. We have since made enquiries and the definite figure is that 43% of the Phantom II cars carry either one or two spare wheels at the rear. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
