| To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG24. 4.28. 8-EX CHASSIS. X7770 We are afraid 8-EX car will not be running this weekend. At the present time it is in the shop - we found there was more to do at it than we imagined in order to make it a model of the next series car. There was an alteration to the flywheel and clutch, and also previously this car had not had the front axle control. We will let you know later as soon as it is available for you to try.
