| S/W HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X.180 x3729 C5/C21.9.21. X.3706 RE LANDAULET BODY FOR 5.EX CAR X.3317. S.180 H84/LG16.9.21. X.435. We will endeavour to sell the 5.EX Landaulet body as we note you will not require it for the Experimental car. With regard to the Buick and Packard, we will endeavour to dispose of these, but have not room in London for them at the moment. If we cannot sell them quickly we will auctioneer them. Could you please let me know the year of both these cars. I presume that both chassis are in decent running order and are both fitted with the American standard open bodies. Regarding 5.EX, if the body is in bad condition it would probably be easier for us to sell the chassis alone, I suggest you put it in proper running order, in the meantime, ready for sale. There is also a landaulet on a long chassis at Hoopers, that we ordered for an experimental chassis, and we should like to get rid of this. So that at the first opportunity of selling a long chassis, perhaps you will bear this in mind. We are liable for it to Hoopers. MADE AT CROXLEY C. | ||
