| Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} x206 LE1/C/26.3.34. Re Chassis No. B.47.AE. I took this car out after it had been washed and found that the brakes were reasonably effective straight away. If one pulls up to a standstill the "juddering" is a little better than on the production cars. Driving with the brakes on for about ¼ mile makes them quite O.K. and the "juddering" is completely cured. This car has done over 5,000 miles and I should think the reason for the brakes being so much better is possibly due to the fact that the liners are now well bedded in. J.L.E. | ||
