"MOTOR SPORT" Re your Memo. Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager}2/KW.6.1.41. In view of the poor maximum speed of the trials car, I am somewhat worried as to what Mr. Boddy may write on this subject. If, however, he has not mentioned specifically the maximum speed, or alternatively, has credited the car with 95 m.p.h., or over, then I do not wish to see his article. Basically, as long as the performance of the B.V. is not made out to be worse than that of B.II. in any respect, we are satisfied. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, | ||
