| W/S {Derby Works / Sales} - Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} X204 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/KW.4.7.35. Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} 1/MK.3.7.35. With regard to the Van Vooren body, we should like this to resemble Sleator's Trials Car as far as possible, as this has proved so satisfactory. This is a dark brown car, but has biscuit coloured upholstery. We should like a similar exterior colouring, but the upholstery to be in dark brown leather and the trimmings of a suitable dark shade to avoid showing up.
