| R.R. 235a (500 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17.) Bm. 2/156/13. X180 X3729 20.10.19. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Sp{Mr Spinney}8/KW18/10/19. To Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}/Derby. Re - Bodies for Experimental Cars. I will arrange for the covered body at Barkers to be available for your inspection next week, as suggested in your Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}7/W171019. The body appears to be in good condition, I think it will require a new scuttle to suit the outline of the modern dash - the insulation scheme can therefore readily be introduced. We have not yet been able to locate a good touring body. I suggest, if you can give the necessary time, that a modern touring body is obtained such as we are preparing for the Show.
