One of the points we are still concerned with on the carburetter is noise or roar. This is greatly affected by the type of camshaft which is used and therefore we wish to fit one of the latest type. It will also be arranged that on this car we do away with the throttle governor.

We expect to have this car ready by the end of the month.
