| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Handwritten: X7830 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG4.1.26. PHANTOM - BODIES+ Handwritten: X7830 / X8380 We want to prepare a body for EAC. 8 chassis. We require this body urgently because the programme is that we hope to take EAC. 8. to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence about the end of February. We also ought to be considering bodies for EAC. 7. This chassis however will not be completed until after EAC. 8. We do not know quite what has happened to the rest of the subframe bodies. So far we have received delivery of two - there is another one being prepared for EAC. 1. At the time it was agreed to order 6 subframe bodies. As we have not supplied any further subframes we cannot imagine that they have got very far. We would prefer an open body for EAC. 8. Will you please let us have your views as the matter is rather urgent. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
