re. Chassis No.61-JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary} - London Trials.

The flexible shackle, although standardised, is not yet available and it will be some time at the present rate of production before it is.

I find that the Experimental Dept. are not in a position to supply one.

You will remember that one of these shackles was taken from an Experimental Car to fit to 60-JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary} and recently they have robbed another Experimental Car for Kaye Don.
