| The strange feature is that whenever I start out with a cold motor the dynamo does not cut in (the red light showing on the dash) for the first two or three miles. The dynamo never gives its full output. I had a similar experience over a period with the 3½ litre. With apologies for bothering you, Sincerely yours, (signed ) C.W.Nichols. W.A.Robotham, Esq. 11th. January 1938. | ||
