EXPERIMENTAL BODIES. To enable us to make sure that the front seats of 2-J.3., Bentley "A", and Bentley 'B', are of the correct height we would like to fit a model steering column to the dummy chassis which we have built at Park Wards. All 3 cars have the same size steering wheel, and we would be glad if you would loan us a steering wheel and worm shaft belonging to the 20/25. We can fix this up on any of the dummy chassis without much difficulty. Will you please despatch this to Park Wards. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
