| X5390. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M3.9.28. FRONT WINGS - 12-G-4. X5390 We are sorry to hear that the front wings on this car have no mud-lip on them. In the specification of the car sent to Barker's we did not specifically mention that the wings should have mud-lips as we thought that no wings were ever made now without this feature. Since the weather was fine ever since the car was put on the road until it left here Mr. Royce would probably not have experienced the objectionable mud throwing. We suggest that you get Sanderson & Holmes to solder in a large lip such as we fitted on the sports car. Unfortunately this will mean entirely repainting the wings, but we think it is worth doing.
