Re: 40/50 HP

Could you please let me know if the same type of engines are now fitted to the Continental and long chassis.

We are in the habit of informing customers that the Continental has a special cylinder head. This, according to information recently received from "Whr{Mr Wheeler}" would now appear not to be the case.

A word from you would be much appreciated rather than we should continue to make "formidables faux pas".
