Re: Wraith No.26-G-VI.

We understand the above car is to do 15,000 miles trials. We would point out that at present it is fitted with the old type of shock damper levers, connecting links and roll rod.

Before it commences 15,000 miles trials do you wish us to fit the latest, i,e, strengthened rods and levers?
