This is to confirm that the first designs for Myth are to be for a car which can be put into production with the minimum of test and development work. It will therefore have a frame, the side channels of which will be as shewn on our PL.363 and PL.364 and it will be provided with a frame cross which will permit of the use of the Junior Gearbox having a servo. Likewise, the frame cross will be so designed to allow of an exhaust system, which is half of that of the 8 cylinder cars of the Senior Range. Provision will be made for a rear roll rod and a small 12 volt battery housed under the rear seat if such should be subsequently found to be necessary. Design work on these lines will go ahead now with all speed. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
