We shall be very glad to have these half-a-dozen sets of blue prints for the use of the Coachbuilders as quickly as you can let us have them - the Coachbuilders in question being those who will build bodies and exhibit Spectre(Codename for Phantom III)s on their respective Stands at Olympia.
We would also like your list of recommendations to the Coachbuilders as to how these bodies are to be constructed.
