| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X9840 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG11.6.25. BODIES FOR SUBFRAME. At the moment we are preparing an EAC. chassis to take the body which is at present fitted to 9-PK. When this is completed it will run 10,000 miles in France. We therefore require the body off 9-PK as soon as possible. We are hoping to have the chassis ready for R's car in about a fortnights time. At the moment we are requiring a body for a 20 HP. car. We recommend that it is a cabriolet. We already have two open cars. If you will arrange for the order to be placed for this body, we will rush through the subframe. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
