X.8600 X.8400 RE REAR WHEEL AND LUGGAGE CARRIER FOR 7-EX. Mr. Royce asked the other day whether we could arrange for a spare wheel and luggage carrier of design N.Sch. 2269 to be fitted to his car 7-EX. Would you kindly tell us whether you will be able to do this before he goes to France which we believe will be about December 14th ? Would it be possible to give him the set which you may have in hand for a 10,000 miles trial, as there is no great hurry for this ? We understand that you will arrange to fetch the car from us soon and on its way back will allow Barkers to have it for a day or so to deal with the screen which leaks very badly.
