Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} PEREGRINE 2. --------- in order to make sure that the revised Peregrine 2. chassis will be suitable for receiving modern coachwork we have made N. scheme. 3346. herewith shewing a six light saloon on the chassis. We have made this body to have the internal length of the same type of body on the Humber 16/50HP. We have improved on the latter due to our lower frame and rear seat cushion, both of which are bad on the Humber. Will you please send Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} a print, and return the original to us. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
