| Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}10/WH. 4.1.35. S/W. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Mr. C.L. Hawkins; Cheslyn Hay. We have an order from Ollington Bros. of 74, Gt. Portland Street, for a standard Saloon and have allocated car B-12-DG. Yesterday, they telephoned us to say the car is for the above and that they understand he has been in touch with you concerning the colour of the cellulose and leather for the upholstery. Mr. Hawkins is, of course, the man to whom you recently sold the body built for a Peregrine. Have you had any instructions from him about the finish of the new standard Saloon please? It occurs to us, he may have in mind having the body he has arranged to buy from you mounted on the new chassis. Have you heard anything about this? Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}, | ||
