The Charmer - Chassis No.1162. Your Ref. PN{Mr Northey}9/DW/20.4.20. The position is that we already have a Limousine body at the Works which we can use for chassis testing. We are, however, anxious to obtain a Landaulette body, i.e. which will let down at the back, in fairly good condition and which has for preference a luggage grid fitted. This is required in accordance with CJ's instructions for the purpose of detecting chassis noises on test. If therefore you know of, or could put us in touch with such a body we should be glad if you would please do so. EP.{G.
