| Secret: 1070 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at W. Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}14/AH.19.9.38. J A G U A R --------- Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has conveyed to us the references in Rml/R.15.9.38 concerning the Jaguar Body and has told us to enquire when we may have the car here in London so that Park Ward & Co., may examine the body with a view to an investigation into its production at the comparatively low price at which obviously it is turned out. If, by any chance, the body is off the chassis it would suffice for the body only to come to London if this can be conveniently arranged. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
