PHANTOM II. & 25-HP. BONNETS.

It is noticeable, even on new cars during their final test from coachbuilders, that the paint adjacent to the top hinge is showing signs of damage.

This is since the top buttons have been removed.

We are not recommending the re-fixing of these buttons, but we are afraid we shall have to be prepared to deal with this complaint by some means.
