The brakes on this car are 15.5 inch magnesium alloy drum brakes, which yielded excellent stopping power while keeping unsprung weight to a minimum. The suspension on the car was fairly simple, with a beam axle at the front and live axle at the rear mounted to semi elliptical leaf springs and friction dampers all around.
The car being polled here is the only one of the 10 production cars to be fitted with a Corsica body and was built in 1937."
