| -3- The visibility from the driving seat of the nearside mudguard is not good. Sitting normally it is out of sight. I believe another inch here would make it much better. Apart from the foregoing points, the car was a delight to drive from the point of view of suspension, acceleration and steering. It showed up to tremendous advantage in traffic on the busy Bournemouth road, and nothing could hold us. There is a short piece of very bad road at Sandbanks which I have been over several times on the P.II, and 33.EX went over it as though it were a level piece of road - a wonderful tribute to the beautiful riding qualities of the car. When the Works have had time to cure the defects which showed themselves up on this run, I feel we shall have a car which will be beyond criticism and should bring us many sales. Cx.{Major Len W.
