Honeyman - Retail orders} 16-G-4. X5830 X5380 ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M12.1.2.28. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has now fixed up the final details of this body, and we are prepared to place the order. When can you let us have a subframe? We propose having this body built at Barker's, unless Sales have any objection, as they have had experience in making light convertible heads of the Beatonson type. As you are aware this is a close coupled coupe. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
