Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}17/KW.17.12.34. Re 29-EX, Body. Will you please note that on the above car, the nearside rear door will not open properly, due to the bottom of the door fouling the running board. Also the outer panel for the luggage compartment fouls the tool compartment panel, and almost prevents same from opening, and the inner door for the luggage compartment is so difficult to open that one has to prize same with a screwdriver. Will you therefore give these items your attention. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/B.H.Whyman. | ||
