| -2- 19.3.38. This car still does not get away from cold as well as the standard Bentley. The range of mixture control does not seem to be so good. Are we using wide spark plug gaps and a higner output coil ? 4 gallons of petrol were added to the tank during the run to Gloucester and back. The speedometer main mileage recorder does not function.
