EAC.11. COVERED BODY. X8380

We are expecting DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} coming to Derby next week. We will discuss with him the question of using the Saloon body which we already have. We quite agree that this is a suitable type of body.

As you are aware however, we are very anxious that any covered body fitted to EAC.11. shall be fixed with a sub-frame. DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is expecting to bring the design of the sub-frame to Derby so that we shall be able to let you know whether it can be applied to Barkers Saloon body.
