Mr. Fairey has asked for a luggage carrier to be fitted to his car. We suggest this being fitted to D.72135. As Mr. Fairey is going to tour the Continent with his car, carrying a load of luggage (say 1 1/2 cwt.), and three passengers (4 persons in all) we should like to know if his buffer clearances are sufficient.
