There was cause for complaint, but 90% of it was due to the rear. I cannot suggest any better stiffness for the front springs which I think will be found extremely good.
We may however prefer all the damping in the springs and slight, or no shock dampers for ordinary demonstration, and slow speed cars.

I will write more about 46-PK later. We saw a few ways of improving it, but it was noticed that :-

(a) The engine was excellent for smoothness and silence.

(b) Brakes were extremely good indeed.
