| W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} C. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3730 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/LG4.7.21. X297 X3730 RE. "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11" BODY. The last time you were in Derby you mentioned that there was a Mulliner open body which had been made for a model for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11 chassis but which had been condemned by Mr. Royce as not being good enough. You said at that time that the arrangement was to use the body up on Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11 experimental car. We should like to know from you whether this body is available. We may have Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11 chassis ready in two or three weeks time and we should like to get hold of this body as quickly as possible.
