Dear Sirs, Re: Experimental 5-B-1V. In reply to your letter of the 2nd inst. we confirm that we have now been instructed by your Mr. Rowbotham that we are to re-panel this body in steel. We suggested that the doors and back flap should be left in aluminium which was agreed. We have promised to have the panels removed by Thursday next week so that Mr. Rowbotham can inspect the framework after which we shall be able to give you other details of the work he suggests should be carried out. We do not anticipate that we shall be able to have the car ready for re-delivery for about four weeks. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. (Signed) N. A.{Mr Adams} Thompson. | ||
