| to EW. from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EB. X7260 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/7.5.28. RE PHANTOM BONNETS. We are sending herewith N.Sch.2595. showing a modified bonnet, radiator and dash for Phantom. which are those referred to in Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/CM7.5.28. and other memos on the subject. Mr Royce has expressed a wish that we should introduce these changes as soon as it is possible for yourselves and Sales to arrange to do so. Sales will wish to see a car fitted up before the change is actually passed. We therefore suggest that you fit up such a set of modified parts on a chassis as soon as possible. Sales will no doubt be able to allocate a chassis, and will arrange with a coachbuilder to modify an existing body to suit. It is suggested that it may be possible to fit the whole to some car that is coming through shortly. We think that we have given you all the design information that you will need, but if that is not so kindly let us know. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
