_____________________________

We have made a number of enquiries and
cannot find a C.D. second hand. 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?
