H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson Esq. B-10-DG.

Thank you for Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}19/I/27.11.34.

Since a certain amount of correspondence has gone on with reference to this car, herewith is a brief summary of the various memos :-

The car to be a replica of that supplied on 4-B-IV chassis except for the following particulars -

Special steering column length
Special road springs with 1" increased initial camber.
Special seat fittings.
Original type Bentley headlamps, on the cost of which some allowance will be made as they are not as expensive as P.100's.
Owner's fog lamp to be fitted, with switch.
No cut-out.

I anticipate that by the time this chassis comes on test we shall have settled final details of the bumper bar and arranged to have this fitted to the car. If you do not hear anything, however, will you please ask Park Wards to query the matter before they finally fit the front wings, so that a decision can be made.

Thank you for arranging with Park Wards to get the seat fittings free of charge.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}:
