Siam Continental with Mock-Up Steering Column
to suit L Engine

The Park Ward Hard Top Coupé body is now rigged up in the Experimental Body Shop with a steering column and pedals to GHK's scheme drawing, and is ready for your inspection.

It is fitted with a facia and is set up to the correct height from the ground.

We have had to borrow a seat from 26.B as there are no other seats which can be set at the correct height. In order to immobilise 26.B for as short a time as possible could you please arrange to inspect the mock up during the morning of Thursday 26th January.
