SEPARATE GEARBOX FOR PHANTOM 11.

We understand that the question that whether this box is likely to be useful has been raised. We still require a test for this gearbox and should like it to be fitted to 19-EX. car. To complete the resemblence of Phantom 1 we want -

(1) Some sort of casing to put on the Phantom flywheel to reproduce that on Phantom 1.

(2) An additional cross-member to be fitted to reproduce that on Phantom 1.

arises.

We should like to discuss any difficulty which arises.
