R.{Sir Henry Royce} has agreed that we can dispose of 18-EX. car. We propose sending this over to the Repair Dept., next week. This car has several new features - The radiator is fitted with thermostat shutters and non spilling cap. The radiator and dashboard dimensions are the present standard (Not 'N' Series). The engine is 'N' Series with extra oil to the pistons and auto-klean filter. The crankshaft has larger diameter crankpins than standard with connecting rods to suit. It has low rating springs all round. The car is in quite good condition, and we should recommend it should be sold with the body as it is. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
