Cars 36-EX and 37-EX. Below we give a list of bodies available for the next two experimental cars. We suggest that we should have for one the Park Ward Sedanca, as we need one car with a demountable top, and this car has a very clever de Ville extension and is extremely well proportioned. There is very little to indicate the second choice, except that we understand that Barkers would like us to have their Enclosed Limousine. Thrupp & Maberley Ltd. Continental Touring Limousine.
