Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KWI0.1.36. At the Conference last Wednesday you asked me to let you know what was the petrol consumption of 35-EX, now in London. Over 1,280 miles this has worked out at 8.7 m.p.g. A careful inspection reveals no leak whatever from the steering and the box is full of oil. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} Hives | ||
