| X8830 Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/MJ. 28.3.30. X5770 16-G4. We understood that one of the jobs to do on R's 20 HP. car was to alter the angle at the back of the driving seat. We think this car is awful to drive as there is too much rakE on the back of the seat. From what I remember, R.{Sir Henry Royce} also complained about this. There are also still a host of rattles on this car, so we assume that it is going back to the coachbuilders before it is delivered to R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
