| -2- (7) Other rattles come from the radiator shutters. These can be heard in the car. (8) More rattles come from the R.170 Lucas Headlamps. It is the reflectors which appear to rattle. (9) We notice that we were carrying the road tools on the rear floor. In the body we found room to provide a tool box for all the tools except the road tools under the rear seats, and it was intended that all these road tools should be housed under the bonnet. We prefer this to providing a running board tool box which is expensive, heavy, and ugly. We understand that you are arranging for all these features not already attended to to be dealt with as soon as 1.Per.2 can be spared, and that 2.Per.2, which has an exactly similar body, will be gone over with a view of eliminating all of these troubles prior to its departure for France. We have arranged for 3.Per.2 to be treated also. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
