| X5992. Restaurant Octobon, Le-Canadel, Par. Le - Lavandou, (Var) France. Jun. 15th '32. Mr Hives from Dodd, It seems as if I must always repeat the same words, but 20.GW is running so consistently for the small weekly mileage we are doing. Except for some mis.firing on acceleration under full load, which we attribute to oxidized plug points, there is no change from previous reports. The car is giving complete satisfaction for Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence requirements, but is not pleasant to drive at high speeds, the reason being, the springing and the excessive movement at the radiator. Yours faithfully L. Dodd. | ||
