X577° It occurs to me that although the 10,000 miles test has been started, we have never yet seen the modified design of the engine foot for the above and more particularly the modifications that were proposed for fixing the dashboard securely to the frame. We did not in fact see the car before it left for France. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
