| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 4788 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/LG4.11.27. RE. SPORTS CAR. X 877 + Herewith photographs of 10-EX taken on Brooklands. You will notice that with the sloping away of the rear seats the car does look rather front heavy. In a way I think the louvred bonnet improves the appearance of the car by breaking up the massiveness of the body. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson} | ||
