HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} x5830. K.5830 Copy to - SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 20-G-4. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/M3.12.31. As far as we can see this body will be ready on Monday next. It is actually promised for the morning but you will be lucky to get it by the evening. The car has no lights and is not registered. We suggest that in any case it should be got out of Park Wards by the evening so that your man will be able to get away with it first thing Tuesday morning. The time for completing this car is very short now but we belive Sales would like to photograph it before it leaves England, and if you will kindly notify Sales of the time it is reaching London on its way to WW. to pick up luggage, no doubt this could be arranged. It would be preferable to arrive in London some time before mid-day. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
