| S E C R E T. 18380 To. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to C. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 13/LG15.12.24. 13440 Attached is a copy of a note we have received from C. With regard to para. 1. We understood all this had been arranged. With regard to para. 2. We had hoped that if we supply the sub-frame, it would not be necessary for the car to go to the Coachbuilders. If it is essential for us to send a chassis to the Coachbuilders, it will mean us making up a special 40/50. The front wings and steps could certainly be made to suit the std. 40/50. It would appear that the rear wings would be the same also. As regards the paint. We have no objection. Will you please reply to this memo. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
