Run for HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

The car is behaving. It does not feel as though I shall ever reach max revs.

I have spoken to Slater his worse customers complaint on SpectreCodename for Phantom III is tyre noise (India)

His other complaints are
1 Difficult to start
2 Gear box & transmission
3 Steering joggling

He is still very satisfied with the performance & road holding over his special run want to show me it is as good as the Bentley. I said he can show you. He is in trouble with his new Bentley. with the clutch pedal vibrating did any cars get away with the weak spring plate.?
