58-GN. (Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}10/E5.10.31.)

We had no intention of fitting a thinner flywheel disc to 58-GN. car until it had been proved out experimentally. At the moment it has never been tried on a Phantom at all. Although we have obtained certain results with this on a 25 HP. car, we are not sure whether we should like to use it on there yet.

We will arrange to have your car 58-GN. ready so that you can drive it back on Sunday.
