The new gears for this motor for the 10,000 mile test are to piece Nos.DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}986/7/8 and every endeavour should be made to have these changed over on the motor before the car leaves for France otherwise they will have to be sent over separately. Obviously it is desirable to avoid the latter if possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
