| X7941 Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre. France. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From G.W.H. 29th September 1934. 28 - EX. The standard silencer fitted has deleted the exhaust boom between 25 to 35 MPH. The snout noise is pronounced and as bad as previous. We find that we are still breaking the heads off the bolts holding the spare wheel brackets to the frame. With the exception of bad body rattles the car is running very well. G.W.H. | ||
