This car, which has recently been handed over to you is fitted with the following non standard parts which must be taken off before the car is disposed of. Clutch. This at present has no flexibility, i.e. there are no springs behind the back plate. In addition strong clutch springs are fitted, these must be replaced. Petrol Pump. An A.C. petrol pump is fitted, this should be taken off and replaced by the standard fuel system. Bijur Clutch Operation. All parts connected with this should be taken off and returned to us. Brake Linings. These are not standard. The engine on this chassis has been running on Aero Shell Oil, and we wish to examine the engine parts when it is stripped and before any of the parts are disturbed or washed.
