| W/S - Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} 4358 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}12/KW.14.12.34. We are trying to compare the weight of the second SpectreCodename for Phantom III body against the first. Unfortunately the first body was not weighed, and we only have the total chassis and body weight. It would give us a very good idea if you could let us have the average weight of a Saloon body of this description as fitted to Phantom chassis. I understand the first body was originally a standard Phantom type. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
