Mr. Hives from Dodd.

I4-E.X. Continues to run very well, engine mounting remains quite OK.

No increased drop of engine to report.

Steering- A groaning noise set up vibrating through the column , when turning on locks, this proved to come from the springs in the rear end of s.s tube, having taken a slight set.

Car generally, running excellent , body noises are few ,these are greatly reduced with tyre pressures at 30lbs
