| contd :- -2- previous steerings on cars which have been run in France. We also require more particulars as regards the lifting of the bonnet. There has been a change in programme in the sports car and it is not intended to announce this car until all standard production chassis are being built with the new cyl. head etc. Therefore there is not quite the same urgency as regards completing the 10,000 miles. We therefore want you, even at the expense of reduced mileage, to let us know how we can improve the car for alround conditions. We should like you to let us have your suggestions as reagrds how the wings can be improved to stop the mud blowing on to the windscreen. Will you please let us have a xxxxx sketch shewing where the fracture occurred on the hinge supporting the O.S. of the bodywork which holds the rear windscreen. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
