Re Phantom lll.

I notice that there is a very pronounced drive groan on Phantom lll. at about 22-24 m.p.h.
This is undoubtedly a very unpleasant feature.

Have you got any scheme for overcoming this?

If you are in London at any time I shall be pleased to take you out on a new car and shew it to you.
