Mr. Hives suggests that 1 EX. be sold, as it now contains no parts which are not standard. I agree to this if you can let me have another car for June. 49 GB will do with new parts, or one with all the latest parts and an open grey body. Painting can be finished or unfinished, any parts not grey should be black, and black leather, if finished Mr. Gibbs' real light grey, which is entirely free from green, red, or yellow, and only being slightly blue.
