We note contents of your memo. and we think under the circumstances, in order to avoid any delay at all with this chassis, it would be best to decide to fit the Limousine body as originally intended.

Could you let us know when the chassis is likely to be sent off to Biggleswade, so that we may have the Coachbuilders all prepared to get along with the work.
