R2/M15.5.23.

Please fit up all proposed experimental pieces for me to see on either No.4 or No.6 Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)). Both are open bodies (I am assuming). I do not want to see the Maythorn Saloon until it is lightened, especially in the roof; though the complete car with passengers is not over weight, the body is beyond our standard weight of 9 cwt. with accessories.
Park Wards' Saloon is quoted at under 8 cwts.
