RE BARKER CABRIOLET DE VILLE ON SUB FRAME .

20 HP. CHASSIS

We thank you for your C/Hn {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 4/MH {M. Huckerby} 15.6.25. re the above.

We have shewn the design to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and he agrees that it is a suitable body for the test, provided it is a type which we sell a number of. We would be glad if you could get Barkers moving as much as possible on the job. HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has promised to let them have the sub-frame in a few days.

As this design is very like the one they have previously had on the 40/50 they should experience no difficulty, but in any case EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will be in London shortly to see Hoopers re their sub-frame when he will call on them.
