| Pending the arrival of new gears which were being despatched by our yesterday I have been checking over the whole of the oil system & found same to be in order. In view of the mystery - I have considered it sufficiently important to stay until the car is in running condition & see that it is satisfactory before I leave. If this arrangement is not OK please let me know. Although everything possible was done we did not succeed in getting the car from Le Mans until Thursday morning. | ||
