Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.29.8.38.

The ventilation of the front seats seems to be
thoroughly bad. We suggest that the General Motors
Ventilators are eliminated, and the railway type ventilators
fitted.

It is extremely difficult to shut the offside
front door.

The sunshine roof is leaking copiously on the
nearside.

There is a tendency for exhaust or petrol fumes
to enter the car after a rapid stop.

The petrol gauge is out of action.
