re 104-MY. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E29.12.33

I think you like to hear of any troubles
which arise on the above car which I use. We recently found
that the front brakes were pulling very much to the offside
so I sent the car to N. and they tell me that they had to do
the following: Reline the nearside front brake because the old
liners were saturated with oil from a pivot leak. To remedy this
leak they removed and refitted the bottom flange and oil pipes
of the nearside pivot, and remade the joints.

The distance the car had run when it was sent
there was 4158 miles.
