X180 Will you please make enquiries to see whether it is possible to buy a second-hand closed covered body suitable for a 40/50 chassis. We bought one sometime ago from Messrs. Barkers. This body was fitted to the car I took to U.S.A. and left there. This car has now been returned but the body was very badly damaged by the Shippers. We think it might cost more to repair it than it would be get another second-hand body. Will you please let us know whether you know of a suitable body. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
