To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X7410 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG23. 5. 28. 14-EX CAR. +7390 The rear wings on 14-EX have at least 1" more clearance on maximum bump than necessary. This gives the car the appearance at the rear of being fitted with rather over-strong springs which actually is not the case. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
