The body which R.{Sir Henry Royce} refers to is the one fitted to 46-PK car. It is a Hooper open touring body. This is the car which PN.{Mr Northey} used in the south of France in the beginning of the year. He tried the seating position at Derby and complained that he could not drive the car and asked us to get the front seats moved back a few [handwritten: three] inches. This was carried out by Messrs. Sanderson & Holmes Ltd., Derby. R.{Sir Henry Royce} was perfectly aware that this alteration had been made - he knows the whole history of the body. MADE AT CROXLEY Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
