PHANTOM IMPROVEMENTS. The tests on 10-EX sports car on Brooklands will be completed this week. This car will therefore be ready to send to Sales next week. When this car comes to London, we should also like to bring EAC.7. This car has the framed instruments and semi-elliptic rear springing and aluminium engine. I propose coming with these cars and would like the opportunity of discussing the various features on these cars with Sales Officials. We consider it is very necessary to decide on a policy of which of the various improvements we have on these cars should be pushed with a view to standardisation. It is over 12 months ago since we carried out the last 10,000 miles test on a Phantom. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
