BODIES FOR LEFT-HAND CHASSIS.

Sales have promised to deliver to us by the end of this month a Close Coupled body similar to 1-WJ., and 18-EX., which we can fit to the first left-hand chassis.

This will have been made for a right-hand car, so that we shall have to make the necessary alterations to adapt it to the left-hand chassis.

This means a specification of this car will have two wheels at the rear and road spring weights similar to to 1-WJ.
