| X5310 Lp.{Mr Lappin} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/MA.11.5.34. Longmore's 25 HP. Car No.GTR-3. We have a Synchro Mesh cast iron gear box which could be fitted to this car. To fit any synchro mesh box to an old 20/25 it is necessary to fit a new cross member, move the brake shafts and fit new propeller shaft. You will see what the job means by comparing GLO-60 with any of its contemporary 20/25 HP. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
