re Phantom.
Please receive LeC.3200 Cylinder Head and
Exhaust Valve Guides.
The drawing shows the modified exhaust valve guide
and cylinder bosses.
This is our proposal to overcome the recent failure
to the guides. The last car on the 10,000 mile test finished
with some of these guides badly jumped up at the bottom end.
