There is the high compression 20 HP. car
with Windover open touring body at WW., which can be returned
to Derby to be utilised in some way.

The chassis is good but the body is very poor.
We are hoping to have our experimental 20 HP. cars
like India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 3. and therefore these specimens will soon become
obsolete.
