Re Isolation of Body Scheme.

We think this is so good that we ought to use every effort to get it a standard feature on all three cars as quickly as possible.

It has been suggested that the Works ought to do the dashboard, and the floorboards which we supply, and perhaps there may be other parts you would think it necessary for us to supply.

Will you please let me know if you agree with this, and if so issue the necessary instructions so that we can have it at the earliest possible date.

In the meantime we are considering how we can get it on to as many of our cars as possible that are going through the Coachbuilders, to the extent of paying the Coachbuilders for carrying out the work.

C.
