MAJOR SEGRAVE'S CAR. x7518 We are proposing to obtain some special springs similar to those fitted to 23-EX, for Major Segrave's car. In order to test their effect, we wish to fit the pair of stiffer type springs which have been running on the Bump, to the front of this car. At the same time we should like the pivot lean setting to 2 1/4° backward. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
