We have heard from our friend Mr. Longley, a director of Ferodos, that his Chairman has had very considerable trouble with chassis GSF-15 and that by some arrangement you have persuaded him to change this for a new car. Mr. Longley tells us that Mr. Turner has decided to do this, but that it would be about the last straw if just after getting his new chassis one of a later type appeared. We wonder therefore whether by any means you can prevent this happening. Ferodos are very good friends of ours, and do a large amount of experimental work on our behalf.
