Dear Mr. Hives, I am in receipt of yours of 2nd December and note with much interest that the question of steering on the Phantom II is already receiving your consideration and that you may be able to make slight modifications. I shall be pleased to send my car to your works when you are ready. As you say, the car is absolutely all right while motoring in England and it is only on the Continent that one has any grounds for complaint. Your remarks regarding compression ratio are duly noted. Yours faithfully, [Signature] | ||
