RE. SPORTS CAR. X788 Herewith photographs of 10-EX taken on Brooklands. You will notice that with the sloping away of the rear seats the car does look rather front heavy. In a way I think the louvred bonnet improves the appearance of the car by breaking up the massiveness of the body. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
