GWYNNE BODY ON 5-GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 CHASSIS.

As discussed on the 'phone, we are arranging for the body on this car to be repaired locally.
We quite appreciate that this type of body is likely to be popular and as you are keen upon this type of body and Sales Dept. are studying all-weather bodies in general in the hope of finding something which will be satisfactory, we more than ever think that full advantage should be taken of inspecting this body after the test through which it has gone.
