34-EX.

This chassis which did the Nairobi run now has a new body and S. keep asking us what parts are non-standard and what should be removed. This car is far from standard as even such items as the crankcase are pre-production. It is being sold 2nd. hand and we recommend no alterations are made as any parts that fail can be replaced by new production pieces.

Do you agree ?

Agreed Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
