| To EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Lp.{Mr Lappin} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}1/KW.24.5.34. New Bentley for Lp.{Mr Lappin} With reference to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/IH.18.5.34. Since Lp.{Mr Lappin} is having a new standard body we presume it will not really be necessary for the cross member to be moved further back. The outside petrol filler and side spare wheel carrier we can manage. We are just querying whether it is worth losing our only chassis with an altered cross member when the body is not going to take advantage of it.
