Mr. Jones has been on the telephone today in connection with Mr. Sopwith's "Phantom III". He stated the car would have to be sent to Derby for the back axle to be attended to. Mr. Sopwith has complained of his back axle for some time and is very anxious that on this occasion, while the car is at the Works, special attention should be paid to deal with this complaint. Will you please issue the necessary instructions. Db.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} | ||
