I do not wish to crab the job, but I do see troubles ahead with the present design, and wish to avoid them if possible. The same anchorage on the 20/25 HP. does not give the same trouble as the overhang load is not so great. I believe the old type Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) front anchorage had merits that were not realised.
