Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG4.12.22. MAYTHORN SALOON. Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /Evl/M29.11.22. X3730 We would like to point out that arrangements were made a long time ago for Maythorns to correct the seats and wind-screen of this body. The reason it has not been done is because the car has been continuously employed on urgent experimental work. As it happens, 7-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 has been the only modern Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) car available for experimental work for some considerable time. As soon as ever we can spare this car, it will be sent to Maythorns. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
