real and very aggravating in an otherwise very fine car. I hope you will put them right as soon as possible.

In France our total weight was about 53 cwt. (4 passengers and luggage) and an average speed of 40m.p.h.

The performance in Alpine passes (I have crossed 13 this trip) is better than on the Silver Ghost but nevertheless I boiled the Radiator dry on one trip when I did 5 passes between 12 mid-day and 6 p.m.

Yours faithfully,
(Sgd) Geoffrey Summers.
