| -2- There appears to be no doubt that in spite of the temperature being still under control there is always a tendency for about a gallon of water to be thrown out of the radiator; after that level had been obtained there did not appear to be any further tendency to lose water. The Thermostat control of the shutters appeared to function well. The petrol indicator showed about 3 gallons of petrol at the time the tank was empty. The body-work of the car generally was in a condition requiring a lot of attention. The door and windows rattle. Near front side window broken. I agree with JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} that there is a very considerable "gasping" noise from the carburetter when picking up from slow speeds. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
