With reference to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}10/KT14.12.33., we have not had any B.2. series finished cars on test yet. As soon as we do I will make a point of letting you know if these suffer from brakes being ineffective after the car has been washed. With regard to the standard 20/25, prior to B.2. series. the brakes are not quite 100% after washing, but they are not sufficiently ineffective to be complained of. J.L.E. | ||
