BODIES FOR LEFT-HAND CHASSIS. We expect to have a left-hand chassis running by April the 3rd., and as soon as we have the chassis we shall be wanting a body for it. As we expect it would be impossible to get the bodies which are being specially ordered, we think that at the start we shall have to adapt the present standard Phantom ll body to suit the left-hand chassis. As we have no spare Phantom ll bodies at Derby we should like to know whether you have a stock body which you could let us have for this purpose. Will you please let us know what you can suggest, and we should also like to know how long it will be before we get the correct bodies after we have delivered to you the sub-frame.
