REFERENCE 10,000 MILES SALES TRIAL 'NEW PHANTOMCodename for PHANTOM I' Will you please advise me the exact position regarding the delivery of the chassis for this trial. It is necessary to make a programme, book accommodation, etc. to take the car to France, and none of this work can be done until we are able to know when the car will be available for the test to commence. It is hoped that we shall have the chassis within a very few days. Please advise me what type of battery will be fitted. CWB. CWB | ||
