To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} +7460 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG28.9.28. SHOW CARS. Y1341 We see no reason why, under the circumstances, petrol tanks for Show cars should not be filled with water. It would be necessary to make sure that they are thoroughly drained, and the water should not stay in the tanks longer than is absolutely necessary. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
