Estimate for repairs to make it serviceable again amount to approx. £125. 0. 0. We should like to know whether you see any immediate prospect of requiring this body mounted to an experimental P.III. If so, could you tell us roughly when it would be required If you see no prospect of using it again, we propose to dispose of it. In that case we should do it up and mount it on the first chassis that becomes available, either new or used, and sell the car. If, however, there is the slightest chance of your calling upon us to give you this body again for an experimental chassis, that would, we think, be the more economical way of using it further than selling it now and building you a new one. Would you please consider this matter and let me know what you think about it. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} hul | ||
