| -2- JPB/Aln.1/MB1. 24.1.56. The boot lid{A. J. Lidsey} is equipped with a press-button handle and a unit containing the reverse lamps and number plate illumination - Siam Standard Saloon parts. We show a new type of number plate support panel which incorporates the stop lamps; it is not yet available for inspection, but if approved will be used on the Standard Saloons. The backlight position and plan curvature are unchanged from RBS.1806. As it is intended to use the same glass on the Seven-seater limousine, we have altered the bottom line in order to achieve an acceptable compromise. Instructions. Bodywork drawings and chassis schemes, e.g., rear bumper, may proceed from the data provided herewith, but no chassis detailing direct from this scheme is possible. JPB/Aln. T.W.G.
