Cox - Advertising Manager}16/KW.30.1.31., we have received a sample heater from America and are arranging to fit it on one of our cars. The American heater is intended to be fitted under the front seat, it is then intended to blow warm air either to the front or rear compartments. At the moment until we have tested the heater we do not wish to have the 'Tropicaire'. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
