The Manufacturers themselves say they have only made the independant front wheel springing for one year, and suggest we shall have difficulty in procuring a second hand one. They offer their trials car I6HP fitted with a Weymann de luxe body at Fcs 60.000.- Is this interesting? or shall we conti- nue on researches? "PS". | ||
