H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} WEST ought to be severely told off, as an owner would be stranded until he obtained the help of a garage to do what we have had to do.

The speedometer is hopelessly out for correct readings. It varies from 13 to 16% fast. The 78 M.P.H. is actually 68 M.P.H. when the springs are bouncing.

GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Hancock,
