C O P Y. S/W. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} LE9/H2.7.24. GF-68. Experimental Landaulet. The above chassis which is fitted with special mounting for body is, I understand, an Experimental Dept. car. In view of the and the fact that the car will be coming up to Derby, I propose to take it out for a short run only, just to see there is nothing silly wrong with the coachwork. J.L.E.
