X 8774 X 8810 We send herewith a drawing shewing the wheel arch clearance for the Phantom sports chassis. The distance between the wheel arch is increased on account of the reduced bump, and also being a sports car with flared wings it is essential that we should keep these clearances at a minimum, even finer than those on our standard production. This information should be shewn on the coach-work print which you are preparing, and we think that a half scale print, similar to the drawing herewith, would be a good thing to have for supplying to the coach-builders during the early days in the history of this sports car.
