RE "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" - POSITION OF SPARE WHEEL. We send you herewith drawing No.Lec.1390 shewing the new proposed position of spare wheel on the "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" car. An illustration is also given of the "Essex" car for comparison. This drawing has been sent to Mr. Spinney, and we are awaiting Sales Dept's decision as to whether the proposed position for the spare wheel will clear all types of hoods when folded up, namely, cape-cart, landaulet, and cabriolet. As soon as this decision is received the design of the spare wheel mounting will be altered to suit. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
