| 18260 To B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LGl0.2.26 PHANTOM - LOUVRED BONNETS. BHL/H5.2.26. We have despatched to you today one louvred bonnet of the type which it is proposed to standardise. Although the bonnet will fit on to a standard car, you will not be able to fix it to the bonnet clips. The bonnet clips are modified on this type of bonnet. If you require to run the car fitted with this bonnet, it will be necessary for us to send a man to alter the bonnet clips. From your note we assume that you only wish to judge the appearance. This is the same bonnet that you saw at Derby and approved of the appearance. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
