Trial of Phantom III.

We had the misfortune to spring an internal water leak on the Red car 33-EX to-day, which means that the whole of the power unit has had to be dismantled. It will therefore be quite impossible for us to keep the appointment to-morrow.

When we have got the car running again we will ring you up and suggest another meeting.
