Cox - Advertising Manager}1/KW.29.6.36. In the case of a fast driver who owns a 3½ litre Bentley car and who is likely to stick to this car for some considerable period, we have no objection to fitting an anti-judder scheme. What we want to avoid is dealing with 3½ litre cars and then finding that the owner has almost immediately purchased a 4¼ litre car. We anticipate that in most cases this is likely to occur.
