CJ3/E18/5/22 I think you should arrange that the car, which is now being run in France, should be run on really bad roads at high speeds and up mountains so as to necessitate the continual use of the lower gears.

Suggested 6/7 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II should receive above test. | ||
