| S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5900 Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}7/BM/2.7.26. Re: Ref: 1644 - 20 HP. Car. 10,000 Miles. In view of what you said in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG21.6.26. I arranged for HO. to go down to Hooper's as soon as the body was on the Chassis and see what troubles (if any) would arise in connection with the altered pedals and steering column. To our surprise he found the Chassis standard in this respect. Possibly it is your intention to alter it when you get it back as a complete Car. I think it would have been better from the point of view of getting the front seat right to suit the driving position, if these points had been altered. [Handwritten initial] | ||
