Confirming our telephone conversation,
we will let you have your car back immediately after
the holidays.

We have made a complete comparison of your
present carburetter with one of the old standard
carburetters on this car with regard to petrol
consumption. We have also reduced the steering shocks
by filling the shock absorbers and governor control
unit with oil.
