Will you please let us know when we can have 34-EX instead of 35-EX for demonstration. We think we ought to be demonstrating now with a car with the dual downdraught carburetter and not with a car having four carburetters. We are keeping several people waiting so that they can try the production model, and hope you can help us to do this at an early date now. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} RWB | ||
