X180 (struck through) X9770 We do not require this car any further for experimental work. 5-EX is a Silver Ghost fitted with F.W.B. The car has been recently overhauled and is in fairly good condition. There are however several experimental pieces which will have to be removed. 5-EX car is fitted with the sample body we received from Springfield. We do not require this body any further for experimental work and it should therefore be sold with the car. We are handing this car over to the R.D. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
