They are a good example of the care which has been devoted to securing an attractive appearance. Wherever possible the various parts are bolted together, wood screws generally being eliminated. In places metal thread screws are fitted into tapped boss plates. An insulating material resembling insulating tape is used between the wood framing and the metal panels. Much care has been directed to maintaining clearance between parts which might set up creaks. The outside petrol filler has a bellows arrangement to give flexibility and is detachable. This must be a great help to the Coachbuilders. The inside roof lamp automatically lights up as the door is opened. The battery is located between the chassis frame and the offside wing, where it is very inaccessible. | ||
