We are preparing a further 10,000 miles 20 HP. car. We are anxious that this car shall be fitted with all the proposed improvements. We are expecting to receive from you designs for a new petrol tank filler following the one recently adopted on the Phantom. Could you please let us know when we may expect this as we shall then have to decide whether it is worth while holding up the car for it.
