| to C. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X. 4260 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/19.6.25. RE BARKER CABRIOLET DE VILLE ON SUB FRAME . 20 HP. CHASSIS We thank you for your C/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}4/MH{M. Huckerby}15.6.25. re the above. We have shewn the design to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and he agrees that it is a suitable body for the test, provided it is a type which we sell a number of. We would be glad if you could get Barkers moving as much as possible on the job. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has promised to let them have the sub-frame in a few days. As this design is very like the one they have previously had on the 40/50 they should experience no difficulty, but in any case EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will be in London shortly to see Hoopers re their sub-frame when he will call on them.
