| x7962 The Beach Hotel, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex. Frinton 182 July 10th/34. Dear Robotham, Your letter does not surprise me in the slightest. I don't want to waste your time reading a long letter from me, but I will just jot down a few points which I consider have been the cause of the 90 M.P.H. lag. The five lamps in front & the two horns are worth at least 2 M.P.H. the tonneau cover over the passenger's seat is worth another two & the rear fairings are worth, at least | ||
