Re Marles Type Steering on my car.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E30.1.35.

Unfortunately I have done very little driving with the car except backwards and forwards to the Works, but generally I like the steering better than my old one. It is steadier and less liable to road shocks - indeed I think it is very good in this direction, and it is lighter to use, that is to say, it does not cause so much fatigue, but I should like to have much more experience with it on some long runs, which I will arrange when the weather gets better.

However, I understand this type of steering will be fitted on one of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III cars.
