When this was originally discussed between ourselves and the Experimental Department, it was considered that before such an alteration could be carried out and the altered parts supplied for a customer's car, they should be properly tested out by the Experimental Dept. So therefore, we are not in the meantime able to take them into Repair Dept. Stores for our stock. Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
