BODY FOR Mr. ROYCE (40/50 H.P) Could you let us know immediately when we can expect Barkers will receive the Sub-frame, and fittings complete, for the Allweather body which they are building for Mr. Royce, as they are ready to get to work on it, and Mr. Royce is getting very anxious about it and wishes to have it. We want this car to be fitted with semi-balloon tyres such as is your latest recommendation for the 40/50, and we would like to know exactly what the size of these is because of the wheel clearances. I believe the prints which we at present have are for the full balloons. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
