Presumably your car is available at any time for the running of experimental parts which cannot be dealt with by the experimental cars we have here. I have, for instance, in mind at the moment such items as Tungsten contact points of which we have a considerable number to run. You would also probably like to have one of the dozen Bleriot cutouts which, as the car already has a Lucas switchbox, would have to be connected to this box in a temporary manner so as to put this item in action in place of the Lucas cutout contained in the box.
