SILVER WRAITH 80 FRAME. FRONT PAN.
As previously stated it is desired to build the first Silver Wraith for an 8 cylinder engine, although the 6 cylinder will be fitted at the outset.
We have made a detail of the bent front pan, PD.225 herewith, to accommodate the 8 cylinder engine for Wraith 80, and a print has been handed to the Detailing Section.
Complete schemes for the modified suspension and front springs will follow in a day or two.
