Re Body Work. - X.393

Sp.{Mr Spinney} In reference to the body fitted to
Na.{Mr Nadin}c chassis 2301 Mr Royce remarks :-
12/6/13. "I am not sure that I should recommend such
"a side door on a car in which the owner
"drives. I think not but if Chauffeur
"driven with important passenger beside
"him why yes, but this is rather more rare.
"I am not therefore in favour of this as
"standard.

Re ventilators, Mr Royce remarks :-

"Whole scheme seems poor."
