| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} The steel body is standing up satisfactorily so far, I am not nursing it. The only rattles are the inevitably ones from the sunshine roof & wind screen but these are not bad. With the bumper bar fitted the front is remarkably steady. The worst feature is the ease with which dust penetrates to the interior of the body. In Hungary of course the roads are bad for dust. At anything above 60 M.P.H. a steady stream of dust comes up from behind the back seat. It is sucked into the luggage partition. | ||
