We are arranging for a driver to call for 46-PK car the first thing on Monday morning.

Apart from the new larger mx {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} diameter worm steering which we will fit to this car, we think there are several other points which we shall be able to improve, including petrol consumption.
