| BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4085 Hsl/LG7. 2. 23. GOSHAWK SPARE WHEEL FITTING. We should like to know whether the cases of the spare wheel working loose has taken place on one car or several cars. We have run 100,000 miles with experimental cars without an instance of this happening. If it is consistent that it occurs on one car, then we anticipate to find that the spare wheel carrier is not fitted up correctly. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
