Dear Robotham, Our Service people will get in touch with you as soon as there is a car available to lend you, and when we get your's in we will look at the pistons to see whether there has been any seizure. I am afraid we have no weight analysis of the 14-h.p. that would be of interest. We have only got the complete weight of the car, and individual weight of some of the units. For the first nine months of this year the orders for the 14-h.p. Saloon were 2355, and Sports Saloon 1086. There is a slight difference between the two in price, the Sports Saloon being £10 higher. I think that with a level price the Sports Saloon sales would be about 50% of the ordinary saloons. Yours sincerely, S.B.Wilks. | ||
