(8) Clearance between the gear box or change gear mechanism and the floor boards is essential, as shown by our chassis test. The clearances here seem to be small, and we feel under the present circumstances trouble will be experienced with the coachbuilders.

(9) The louvres in the bonnet do not seem to be very regular or consistent.

(10) Radiator tanks easily damaged; dents caused even by hard pressure.

(11) Tyres as fitted (India) are very noisy.
