| COPY FOR MR. HIVES, DERBY. X180 To: Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}, Derby. From: Sp.{Mr Spinney} Spl/HW/10420. 10th April 1920. re Landaulet Body for Long Experimental Chassis. In reply to your minute Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG9420, Messrs.Fairey & Charles have made a picture drawing of the landaulet they propose to fit to the experimental car. This drawing, however, is not to scale. It is intended to show practically the same body as is fitted by Fairey & Charles for the Daimler Company. These bodies are quite good; Mr. Cowen and I inspected them in detail at Hayes. Fairey and Charles are forwarding an estimate; they have not commenced the job yet as they have received no official order. They are waiting for this and for proper coachbuilders' drawing before commencing work. Their quotation will be wired to you as soon as received. (Copies to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}) [STAMP: RECEIVED 12 APR 1920 SN{Mr Sanderson}] Sp.{Mr Spinney} UDS | ||
