I mentioned to you some time ago that we might like your car to fit on to it the relay clutch device, controllable shock dampers, and new carburetter.

We find however, on looking up the specification of 20-G4, that car now is considerably out of date. Our controllable dampers are arranged to fit on to cars which have front axle control. It would mean a considerable modification to apply them to 20-G4.

We hope to have the clutch device ready next week and can arrange to fit these at Cricklewood.
