Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} We are pleased to say that the Administration after reconsideration have now agreed to the suggestion that an Enclosed Drive Cabriolet body should be ordered from Barker's for experimental work in connection with the 20 H.P.Sub-Frame. Barker's already have a number of these bodies well advanced by arrangement with us and we have asked them to definitely allocate one of these for the sub-frame. No doubt EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will get into touch with Barker's and explain just how the body should be altered to suit the sub-frame and if necessary arrange for the sub-frame to go to them. The Administration say that the body is to be finished in the rough grey. C/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} [Signature] | ||
