| W/S. C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3729 40/50 HP. BODY. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG13.3.25. We recently received from you a body which was built by R-R Springfield. We are arranging to fix this on to a chassis, but we require suitable wings for it. Could you please supply us with a set of standard Barker or Hooper front wings? We could get the rear wings made locally but we do not seem to be able to obtain decently shaped front wings. We should only require the wings finished in grey; they may as well be fitted with wing irons. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
