Cabriolet de Ville Phantom III 37-EX. We confirm the statement made in E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/MN29.6.36, that we do think the front ends of Sedanca bodies move more than is desirable with the existing rubber mounting. We are proceeding with the tests replacing the rubber with solid packing pieces. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
