| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M21.5.31. We thank you for your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/AD19531. We asked Sales to send you a small scale wooden model of an open 20/25 car which we had made here from one of the old 'Kite' models, having the intention of asking you to fit a J.3. radiator, bonnet, and scuttle, with a view to getting SG{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s approval of the proposed scheme for the 20/25. - 2nd. half of 'T' series. Since then the whole improved appearance scheme for the 20/25. has been more or less approved by SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and Sales, and we think there is no need to make the model. If you would not mind just keeping it in safe custody we shall no doubt find it useful at some future date for illustrating some such similar improvement.
