GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. BODIES
We wish to specify a maximum weight for the bodywork to be built for the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) Chassis. We think the model Limousine will be a good sample of a maximum weight body. Can you please tell us the weight of the chassis and the weight of the complete bodywork, including wings, running boards, etc., of the Limousine car.
We should also like to have similar information regarding the Open body which you have.
Sp. {Mr Spinney}
