Data for the system

This is the data on the smaller class of cars that are designed to hold only two passengers. The price on all five of these cars is set at £167.00 which is very adequate because it can allow the customer to choose whatever car they prefer without having to worry about the price. These tables are a basic representation of the data that is needed to carry out the memos and other end user requirements.
