| X5770 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3.22.6.25. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} RE 20 HP. CAR FOR MR.ROYCE Mr Royce has just told me that he has asked you for an "INDIA" for his use during the holiday at the end of July and that he will therefore not mind if his Barker-Beaton Allweather on the New PhantomCodename for PHANTOM I is not ready by then. We are wondering what body you are proposing to give him and whether you are counting on getting the Barker Cabriolet de Ville through by then . We have placed the order and if we had the sub-frame by say a week from today it would be just about possible to push them to finish the car by the 3rd. week in July. If this is what you would wish kindly let us know and we will do our best to speed the job up. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
