COMPLAINT CASE.

Springing Complaint - F.C. Burgess, 27-RY.
-----------------------------------------

When this car arrived about a week ago we tried the springing in the rear seats against two other cars with low rating springs and controllable shock dampers. We thought that 27-RY was the best ride of the three. However, by fitting low rating rear springs and altering the relative amount of shock damping fore and aft we think we have provided a better ride in the rear seats, and the car has been returned to Bristol.
