I am going to visit Barkers on Monday morning to see the Barker Sports body. We have arranged for the chassis to be sent to them under conditions of secrecy(already described to you) on Feb. 5th. or 7th. and we shall endeavour to let the car come to Derby on Feb. 14th. This will enable a week of tuning and final adjustments to be made here in Derby. I will report further after visiting Barkers Works. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
