PHANTOM 11 SUBFRAMES.

The subframe on WJ-1 is of an odd type. It was a subframe which was made originally for a left-hand chassis.
It was afterwards agreed to use it up on production.
The cross member in this subframe is in a slightly different position to suit the central change.
Except for this one car, with either type of subframe it is possible to remove the gear box lid.{A. J. Lidsey}
