R.R. 235a-(100 T) (S.H. 159 11-8-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M6.12.23. re. 5.G.11. - 20.HP. ALL-WEATHER CAR. X3730 Y4219 We enclose herewith a copy of a letter sent to Messrs Young & Co. Bromley. We think these modifications are essential before the car goes to France, and Mr. Royce asked me to let you know the earliest we could finish them. We hope the car will be finished by Wednesday night of next week, and Mr. Royce suggests that the driver should call for it at Bromley on Wednesday afternoon and bring it on here for us to see, on his way to shipping the car. This is the earliest date we can give and we hope that it will not inconvenience any of your plans. /EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
