5. SPECIAL ROAD SPRINGS.

I hope there will be no extra charge for these but will have to make sure from the Costs Dept.

6. HEADLAMPS.

We buy P100's at a very special figure as we run a contract with Lucas. Because of this the difference in their cost, compared with the cost of the earlier pattern lamps,appears to be only about 10/- but I will go into the matter and give you a definite figure shortly.

7. FOGLAMPS.

Assuming there is nothing funny about the lamp needing a very special bracket the charge for fitting this, including wiring up to a switch on the facia board, will be 30/-.

8. BUMPERS.

As I understand it there is no immediate intention of standardising a front bumper, so if one is fitted there will be an extra charge. I am waiting to hear from the makers what the charge will be. I will let you know what it is in due course.

Below I give you a full list of the non-standard features on 4-B-1V., which Lp.{Mr Lappin} is using, and I shall be glad if you will indicate which of them Mr. Thompson wants:-

9. Roll blind vizors instead of the flat pattern, extra charge £2-5-0.

10. Experimental lighter type front seats which can be supplied without extra charge.

11. Interior mirror in place of extxerior one. No extra charge.
