This car was fitted with a 14 tooth axle,
which I understand was not to be considered standard.
Quite naturally, the acceleration was good bearing in mind
the excessive weight of the body, but I should like very
much to know whether it was intended to use a 14 tooth
axle for the heavy closed bodies.
