Streamline Bodies for Stock - Park Ward.

The first we heard of these was through Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}5/I/ 24.8.34 accompanied by a drawing which was identical with that of the Bentley Park Ward Streamline Show Car.

Our criticisms were given in EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/TH.31.8.34 . The bodies were all milled out ready for erecting when we first heard of them.

Subsequent modifications have been made, we believe, to the position of the spare wheel (Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}9/I.of Sept. 18th).
