CONTINENTAL TOURING CAR - SHORT CHASSIS. ---------------------------------------- We are not at all clear on the value of or reason for this design, and as it will mean a large expenditure we think you should decide as to whether it is to be built or not. For your guidance we wish to point out that the following new parts would be required :- Subframe. Petrol tank. Rear spare wheel carrier. Steering column. Dashboard. Front and rear road springs.
