I suggest that Mr. Evernden, who takes great interest in body-making, might be used as a connecting link between the coachbuilders, Lord Herbert Scott (Mr. Spinney) and ourselves as chassis builders. Regarding the Peregrine and Goshawk I understand a great effort will be made to sell these as complete cars, and if so it would seem that we want to have ready models of standard bodies that will fit all likely buyers viz:- 1. Open 4 seaters. 2. Sporting 2 & 3 seaters. 3. Limousine single and double. 4. Single door 3 seater open and closed (coupe) 5. Landaulettes. (doubtful) R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
