Phantom II Car, and I understand that W.W. have also seen it. It has met with approval so that there is now nothing to prevent its standardisation. I assume that this will now commence with N.2 Series and that at the same time the modification will be introduced in connection with carrying the bonnet over the dashboard, which also seems an improvement?
