On our next visit to W.W. we propose bringing 8-EX car which is to run the 10,000 miles test in France. 7-EX which is the chassis being prepared for your own use. and 10-G-111. The latter embodies all the outstanding experiments on the 20 HP; except very recent ones. These include - pedals nearer the dash - shorter steering - stiffer steering tube - new arrangement of brake and change speed lever - wider dash board and bonnet to suit subframe. A complete list of experiments fitted to this car will be sent later. We shall arrive at W.W. the first thing on Tuesday morning. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
