re. OLD CAR BODIES.

We have received the attached letter which refers to the body we have taken off 22-EX.

This body is scrap as far as we are concerned, and is in very bad condition; it will be a costly job to put it into a decent condition and it is therefore worth very little money to anyone.

We recommend that we offer it to Sandersons for £10; failing acceptance of this offer we say it should be scrapped rather than pay them for storing it.

Will you please let us know if you agree to this.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}
