To EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Bodies. SgG/E21. 1. 32. x4027.
Copy to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.

Thanks for DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/M9.1.32.

J.III I agree and note you will send designs along to me to see.

Re "Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine)" and Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley). On general lines your remarks coincide with my views.

I want, however, to get J.III dealt with first and we will deal with the other later.

Perhaps you would make a point of speaking to me about it next time you are in town.
