W I attach copy of note to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} The 18 inch wheels will be sent to you: presumably you will arrange to equip them with tyres and to fit the discs which will accompany the car.(GFT-102) Can you do anything to hurry along the special instrument please? You will remember we have asked that they should have cream dials and we want Park Wards to have them because they must cut the board before covering it with green leather. Moreover, we want them to spray the flanges green also. If you cannot get the instruments along will you please tell us whether they are going to be similar to the standard instruments because, if so, Park Wards can cut out the board and cover it with green leather. You could then fit the instruments when they are available and touch in the rims with the green cellulose which Park Wards are sending you in cans. LID{A. J. Lidsey} See me H/S Hn.{F. C.
