The bodies will be mounted in Derby. We would be glad if you would obtain for us a pair of front bumpers and a pair of rear bumpers from the J.R. Engineering Co., and have them despatched to Derby for the attention of the Expl. Dept. You will notice we are using the old Phantom III width of bumper for the Wraith II and we think it will be deep enough for this smaller car, but we wish to use the thin gauge front plate which was instituted for the deepened Phantom III bumper in order to save weight. We enclose herewith a print of both front and rear bumpers for you to send to Mr.Hidlington. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: | ||
