| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to Ed.{J. L. Edwards} " " OR. (crossed out) " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} (crossed out) " " BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} (crossed out) [Stamp: ORIGINAL.] E1/G11/5/21. [Stamp: RECEIVED MAY 13] X3730 RE "GOSHAWK II" - OPEN FOUR-SEATER BODY. We send you herewith drawing No.Lec.1389 showing the above. This drawing has already been sent to Mr. Spinney for use in connection with the Mulliner four-seater body. You will notice that the over-all length is the same as that quoted for the landaulet, namely, 108" from the dash. The dimensions given as regards width are considered to be the minimum that will allow the driver comfortable room for steering with his elbow inside the body. We shall expect to hear from the Sales Dept. in due course, how far the specimen Mulliner body will conform to Lec.1389. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
