We should like to fit up your car with the latest type shock dampers with automatic control. Unfortunately 58-GN. car is now so out of date that it has not got the right gearbox for the control.

I understood you to say some time ago that you were having a new car. If this is so we might take advantage and anticipate new fittings on the chassis. On the other hand, if the new car is a long way off we should like to fit to 58-GN. the new type shock absorbers with hand controls.
