The method used for damping out noises inside the body is also interesting and effective.

Externally the paintwork is in good condition, but rust is found in many places in the interior.

We have in this car another example where the body is probably not put to such a sever strain as that on the Bentley, due to flexible suspension, poor damping, large section tyres, and inefficient braking. however, being completely a mass-produced body, it is difficult to compare it for strength with our own.
