| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X9840 C16/C13.10.23. Re Test Bodies. X9840 Of the 8 test bodies you want for the series test, we have been able to get a Pullman from Barkers, 2 Open Touring from Barkers, an Open Touring from Hoopers and 2 Cabriolets from Park Ward. What would you like the other two to be? The only other cars we have available ready to put on to chassis would be Landaulets and ordinary Limousines. You will remember that as soon as you have carried out these tests we want to be able to offer these cars for sale. C. | ||
