Honeyman - Retail orders} X3633 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG24.7.24. RE. 40/50 HP. SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. C/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}5/MH{M. Huckerby}23.7.24. Barkers evidently did not have time to fit the new Spare Wheel Carrier to 98-NK. We should like to know whether they are preparing one for 98-NK. At the present moment we would prefer that they fitted the carriers to 9-PK car which will be leaving for France shortly. Could they send us a pair of these carriers which could be fitted at Derby?
