| SECRET. S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) from CWB. X 8830 CWB8/LH{Mr Haworth}10.10.25. "PHANTOM" ENGINE FRAME. ETC. I have received copies of H1/M6.10.25 and H2/M6.10.25. Will these alterations be embodied in the car you are now preparing for France, and in the car you are preparing for Sales 10,000 miles trial? It would be of assistance if you could let me have a note giving the difference between the car you are preparing for our 10,000 mile test and our present standard car. Could you do this? From preliminary enquiries, it would appear possible to have our weyman body ready for mounting in three weeks from now, which, apparently will just about fit the time when the chassis will be available. I have obtained the following brief particulars regarding this body but am obtaining more details and will advise you as soon as I can. STEERING: 10' - dashboard 28.6" and 36" wide. Long chassis.
