| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830 Ms5/LGS. 7.25. 20 HP. SUBFRAME. X5830 We have despatched to Messrs. Barkers the 20 HP. subframe. This is intended for a Cabriolet body. There was great difficulty in getting final instructions from the D.O. at Derby. We are not certain now how the matter stands. We have left off some of the trimmings such as floorboards etc. and will send these later. We should be glad if, the next time you are at Barkers, you will make a point of examining the subframe and see that it is what you anticipated. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
