We do not think we shall be able to send you this car in earlier by not having the overdrive gearbox. In any case, the gearbox has to be changed, as, at the moment, the car has an ex-dynamometer one fitted in order to get to the Coachbuilders. There are also several other points needing attention to make it into a nice car. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
