EXPERIMENTAL CAR 11-EX - LATE 93-NK. V677

We have recently supplied to Sales a chassis which will be used by them to run off 10,000 miles tests.

This chassis was originally 93-NK but it has been completely modernised and new parts fitted where necessary so that it is now totally different to the NK. series.

We have therefore altered the number to 11-EX. 93-NK chassis has therefore been deleted, 11-EX represents an Up-to-date Phantom chassis.

Engine YL.65.
