| 300b S/W To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Continental Chassis. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E17.12.36 We went down to Barker's yesterday to see the body. After discussion it certainly would appear best to let them have the chassis. They would like to have it by the end of this month. Will this be possible, please? They will work with a view to having the car completed by the end of January and, if they succeed, it won't be unreasonable seeing the the body was not really ordered until the beginning of November.
