Sidgreaves - MD}4/D7.11.32 Re: 100 of "O" Series 40/50 Chassis Referring to my telephone message of Friday relative to new type carburetter, higher compression, modified camshaft and resonant exhaust being fitted to all the chassis instead of Continental models only, I discussed this matter with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} on Friday last from the point of view of the improvements effected since the decision was taken to confine these mods. to Continental Chassis only on the first 50 of "O" Series. The conclusion we came to was that as Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is going to let me have at the end of this week 19-EX. with the latest improvements, we had better wait until we can see and try this car before giving a decision. This will mean a further week, but I imagine this will not cause you any serious inconvenience at this date. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
