CHASSIS 15-EX. 1928 SPECIAL RADIATOR, BONNET AND DASH.
-------------------------------------------------
Sales have telephoned to the effect that 15-EX. should be built up as a standard F.2B series chassis, and should not be fitted with the special radiator, bonnet and dash previously instructed, as they wish to use this car for export propaganda work. They also instruct that the special radiator, bonnet and dash, which the Experimental Department are preparing should be fitted to chassis 55-AL, and instructions will be issued to Sft.{Mr Swift} with an order number for which the cost of dismantling the existing radiator, bonnet and dash, and fitting the modified ones should be charged.
