It has, however, rubber engine mounting. It is fitted with a Hooper limousine body mounted on a subframe. We want to dispose of the complete car as the body is no further use to us. You will no doubt let Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} know what work you wish to be carried out on the chassis. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
