Name of Person addressed: W to S. DATE: 4/11/10 RECEIVED TBB19/D41110 Our Repair Department experiences a considerable amount of trouble with cars developing a "list" to the "off" side, owing to the excess of weight carried on this side (spare wheels etc.) Will you kindly write to the various coachbuilders who build our bodies, enquiring whether they could design the bodies and distribute the spare wheel, kit, etc. in a manner that will distribute the load equally on either side of the car. This to be, of course, without driver. If you prefer that we should take up the matter direct from Derby, perhaps you will advise us of the names of the coachbuilders in question.
