Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 8417 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 5/MJ. 8.10.30. Mr. Muhlenkamp's Phantom ll. Chassis No.183-XJ. Q We have altered the front suspension of this car and should like the owner to try it before we do anything further to it. Our own opinion is that we have improved the comfort in the rear seats for driving at normal high average speeds. If Mr. Muhlenkamp is not satisfied, the only alternative is to fit Hartfords because a higher hydraulic shock absorber setting has already been tried and he did not like it. Hartfords on the other hand, can always be adjusted to suit driving conditions. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
