We attach a report from our Mr. Lidsey who is in charge of the cars at Chateauroux(French test region), France. This report has been got out in conjunction with the driver who was driving 35-PK car when the accident occurred and is agreed to by him. It will be seen therefore that this cannot be attributed to the 4-wheel brakes. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
