| File. 1260 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 18-10-37 re. cost of 27.S.IV Body mounting This figure is slightly larger than previous Wraiths as shown. - 24-G-6 £88.16.4 25-G-6 £93.6.6 27-G-6 £101.0.0 The average PIII bodies cost £120.0.0. Our 25/30 bodies have either been fitted at their respective coachbuilders, or else arrives as complete cars. The last few new Bentley bodies, 5-B-4, 6-B-4, 3-B-4 wide entrance, B56GA were all fitted at Park Ward's, so that the very early Bentley cars can hardly be used as a comparison, not having noise insulation, loose covers etc, The actual cost varies with each body, depending on the mounting troubles experienced.
