The following defects have already developed on this car - (1) The sunshine roof drums and rattles very badly. (2) The flap to the luggage carrier and petrol tank has warped and will only lock one side, the opposite side standing proud. (3) The O.S. front door vibrates - a squeaking noise. (4) The spring seat to the rear compartment has collapsed, and passengers are made to have a very uncomfortable ride, both being forced into the centre of the seat. (5) There is a very bad creaking taking place at the rear of the body, and movement can clearly be seen across the body at the base of the rear seat squab. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
