WRAITH 'C' SERIES. Further to BY9/MG.12.7.39, we have been notified by Sales that although the R.R.heater is being supplied as standard equipment on B.V. it will not be standard on the Wraith, but they will endeavour to have it fitted when a heater is required. The dashboard can be drilled for all chassis, but the taps etc. will not be fitted to Wraith unless instructions are received. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
