Meade-King} 5.11.35. Bodies for Cars 36-EX and 37-EX. Your Ref: E.4/HP. 4.11.35. We confirm our telephone conversation of this morning when we advised you arrangements had been made to release to you the Hooper Pullman you like and which was on our own stand at Olympia, instead of the body they showed. The car that was on our stand is to be exhibited by the Clyde Auto Co. at the Glasgow Show which ends on the 23rd inst. On the close of the Show, the Clyde Auto Co. will despatch the car to you. When you receive it, will you please have the body removed and then send on the chassis to Hooper & Co., Western Avenue, Acton, W. 3. The car is one of the types we standardise and it is therefore essential we should have such a car in the showrooms to show customers. We have accordingly arranged with Hoopers that they shall build quickly an exactly similar body which they will mount on the dummy chassis when it reaches their works. They have undertaken to complete the car by the end of the year which will be satisfactory to us. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
