Re Wraith III Bodies.
---------------------

25.G.6.
We have instructed, a long while ago, a front and rear bumper for this car to be ordered by Mr.Honeyman and dispatched direct to you from the J.R.Engineering Co. (See E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 6/MN.21.11.36).

We take it that you will be able to draw from stock P.100 head lamps, R.R. Streamline(Experimental Streamline Bentley B.23.A.E) side lamps, and a centre lamp should be fitted as this forms part of the appearance. We suggest that you may have a lamp which you would like to try.

26.G.6. Enclosed Limousine, and 27.G.6.4-Door Saloon.
----------------------------------------------------

We have instructed front and rear bumpers for these cars and they will be delivered to you direct from London.

We are leaving you to obtain for yourselves the head lamps, which we suggest should be the latest special Lucas, and the R.R. Side lamps which can be drawn from stock.

Unless we hear from you to the contrary immediately we shall fit the standard Klaxon screen wiper to both of these cars.

Handwritten in margin: STD

In the Limousine we wish to fit a heater. Would you kindly supply the heater which you desire to have fitted to Messrs.Park Ward & Co. at Willesden, marking it for use on 26.G.6, and let us know what type it is.

It will be necessary to supply to Messrs.Park Ward & Co. petrol filler head rings for welding into the body panels without delay if the coachwork is not to be held up.

Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork}
