| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG3.12.26. MR. ROYCE'S CAR - 7-EX. X8992 X8830 We are taking the precaution and getting Sanderson & Holmes to do some of the obvious coachwork modifications to 7-EX. We have got them to increase the number of buttons fixing the hood. They have also carried out one or two of the other jobs which we considered could be easily done by them. We have been able to get them to do this while we have been actually working on the chassis. It will be quite a struggle to get the car finished in the time. The pieces for the spare wheel carrier and luggage grid at the rear have all had to be made from solid. The car will be sent to Barkers, we hope, on Tuesday and if they wish, and could get it done in time, they could have another go at it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
