VISIT OF MESSRS. WORMALD AND HIVES TO WEST
WITTERING ON SATURDAY MARCH 19TH. 1921
Extract from E6/G31.3.21.
-------- "GOSHAWK 1" BODY. X.3730
Referring to Goshawk 1 Mr. Royce thinks that this
car ought to come to him, and should be fitted with a suitable
two or four-seater body so that it can be thoroughly tested and
compared with Goshawk 11. The frame is at present shorter than
it should be for the wheelbase. Mr. Royce wants particulars
sent to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town for the purpose of laying out the body.
