Sales Department state that when B-6-AE. was in Belgium they received criticism from several clients and retailers that the front springs and shock absorbers, or possibly both, were not sufficiently stiff for the very bad roads in that country. We should be glad if you would let us have your recommendations in regard to the best setting for the shock absorbers, as we have a customer in Belgium who has purchased a Bentley, and the above point is mentioned.
