As we assume the car has been sold as a sports car, we recommend that all the parts quoted are left on the car. They have completed 10,000 miles and we are satisfied that they are reliable pieces.
There are several other features on the car which have not proved satisfactory and which are being removed before the car is despatched.
This chassis was tested by the Expt: Dept: before the body was fitted and we consider that only the final tests are necessary before it can be despatched!
