RE: BODIES FOR FIRST SIX WRAITH 111 PRODUCTION CHASSIS. We understand that it is intended only to build up the first two of the above chassis into complete cars at the moment, and it is desired that we should not bring the remaining four bodies to Derby until they are required, because we have no suitable place for storing them in safety; it is feared that if they are here they might become damaged. The two bodies we have for the two chassis being built up are Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's body and a Close Coupled Touring Limousine, which was built originally for us in return for the Limousine 29-G-4, which you were going to take from us but eventually did not do so. It is suggested that the bodies be stored at Messrs. Park Ward & Co. until they are required. It is possible that they may require a rent for storage, and no doubt will wish to be paid for them when they are completed. We should be very glad if you would let us know whether you can arrange to have the bodies stored as suggested. Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
