Questioning invoices from coachbuilder Hoopers for rectifying faults on a new car body.

Accounts from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

HsS/LG29.9.22.

With reference to the attach invoices. We wish you to take up with Sales, whether Hoopers should not have done most of this work free of charge. It was a new body and the car had only been used for 3/4000 miles and they were obvious faults which should have been corrected before the body had been sent away. We have marked on the invoice the points we consider we should not have been charged for.

We have signed one of these accounts - the other two we have no knowledge of.

It is necessary, now that production Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))s are being made, to make sure which Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) car these parts are obtained for.
