| To Mr. Cowan from EH. X180- EH9/LG18.12.18. 18th. Dec. 1918. Messrs. Holmes in Derby have given us an estimate for an open touring body fitted with wind screen, one man hood, convex wings - price including fitting on to and painting chassis is £275. Before the War we obtained a similar body from them for £140. Could you give us any idea of the increase on 1914 prices which are being asked for by other body makers. EH. | ||
