| C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Sp.{Mr Spinney} X3730 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG13.2.22. BODIES FOR GOSHAWK CHASSIS. X3730 It appears as though we are still going to be short of bodies for Experimental Goshawk chassis. Apart from the chassis which is going out to Mr. Royce, which we look upon as his car, there are three other chassis being prepared. For these chassis we have the Maythorn saloon body and the Gwynne Body, so that we shall still be short of one body for these chassis. On your list of bodies you sent to us, you mentioned an all-weather body by Barkers. We should like to know whether this body is on order, if so, when we shall get it. If this is not on order, we recommend that it is ordered immediately and that we press to get delivery of it in 5 weeks or so. We consider that the bodies for the Goshawk are all good stock because they could be taken over for bodies for Trials Cars when the tests are completed. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
