EXPERIMENTAL CARS. +8770 The Experimental Dept. have no further use for 46-PK car. This car has been used by Mr. Royce. It was originally sent to us by Sales for 4-wheel brake experiments. It was afterwards converted into a Phantom. The engine can be looked upon as new - the chassis also has done very little mileage, no more than 6/7000 miles. It is fitted with a Hooper open touring body. The radiator and bonnet are the standard 'PK' series type. We are handing this car to the R.D. Derby. In our opinion there is very little work to be done on this car. There are one or two external experimental parts which will need replacing with standard parts. Will the Sales Dept. please instruct the R.D. what they wish to have done with this car. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
