| To PN.{Mr Northey} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CWB. c. to BJ. + 8950 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG20.5.26. 12-LC CAR. WHITE OPEN RIVIERA TRIALS CAR. We are arranging to fit hydraulic dampers to the front of this car. We suggest it would make the test better if at the same time the wheels with well base rims and the medium low pressure tyres which it is proposed to standardise on the Phantom car as soon as ever the hydraulic dampers are fitted. We shall therefore return 12-LC to you with low pressure tyres. We can only loan the wheels to you as they are required for the experimental car which is going to France. We are expecting to send a car to Sales shortly. We will arrange that that car is fitted with the wheels of 12-LC so that they can be changed over, and those with the low pressure tyres returned to us. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
