| CONTD: -2- jack etc. can be carried together with a tin of spare oil, as we wish no side oil tank to be fitted. Concerning the finish of the car we think this should be smart and attractive, with polished aluminium bonnet, some quiet yet attractive colour - (royal blue, primrose yellow etc.) - with wings possibly black. Barker-Penny discs are fitted to the wire wheels to reduce resistance. Body brackets should be fitted to the chassis at the positions indicated approximately, in order to reduce the weight of the body which we hope will be kept to a minimum. We realise that brackets may not be possible in the exact positions. Will Derby please take off the necessary prints they require and return these original drawings to us together with 3 prints of each. We will then send a print to LHS.{Lord Herbert Scott} for his information and comments, and we think you should take steps to get one of these bodies, and one thinks preferably not from Barkers, or Hoopers, but from such people as Park Ward & Co.
