SpectreCodename for Phantom III. In order to obtain a suitable proportion of shock damping front to rear, we had to fit a smaller diameter bellows in the front shock dampers. This is giving satisfaction on SpectreCodename for Phantom III III in France. Will you please arrange for future cars to be built with the smaller bellows similar to Ex.18848.
