We are forwarding herewith a Print of the Limousine Body built by Hoopers for the original Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) chassis. Perhaps you will be able to decide from this whether the body could be adapted to the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II chassis. At present the body is partly panelled and partly trimmed and could be finished off pretty quickly.
This body was approved by FHR, CJ and LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair}
