| X3730 W/S. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}7/LG8.3.23. Referring to your Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}12/LH{Mr Haworth}7.3.23. We assume that there is some fault with the Maythorn open body which you suggest we should fit to the Experimental car, otherwise you would be using it. We do not require an open body. We want an all-weather body of the Beatonson type. If we cannot have a new one made to the latest dimensions and specifications, we would prefer to retain the old one with all its known faults. We should like to know whether it is intended to order a new body (all-weather Beatonson) as suggested in our memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG24.2.23. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
