- 2 - 4) The arithmetic is - (a) Probable total liability - Lowest £100,000 Highest £250,000 (b) Net cost of fitting styling strip in cases of complaint. Say 4000 in 1966. 8 p.w. £4,000 p.a. (c) Sales, as improvement or face-lift. Say 800, at £25 retail p.a. £20,000 p.a. We therefore turn a considerable financial loss into a profit. I hope nobody will feel like stopping this experiment.
