We are interested to know what happened in your tests of the S2.CA wiper against the S2.RA and will try them ourselves when they turn up.

We will let you know what we think of them in due course and in the meantime would be glad to hear whether there have been any developments in connection with the Smith produced Hadees heater.

We have been told by one coachbuilder that Smith's have approached him to fit one of these heaters in his show R.R. car and have told him it has been approved by you.

Is there any foundation for this please?.
