Sidgreaves - MD} tries this car there are one or two troubles that need putting right, and we think these could be easiest done by the car spending a day at the Essex Service Station in London. We are not quite sure by what arrangement and from whom the car was bought. We shall be glad if you would find out whether during one day the Service people could rectify (1) Several exhaust washers blown. (2) A tendency for the steering to wobble. (3) Very uneven pulling of the brakes. If you can arrange this we will let you know on what day we shall send the car up to London. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Grylls. | ||
