| Secret. X5830 -> Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at W. to E J-111 BODIES. We have ordered from Park Ward & Co. the first body. Can you tell us the chassis number? We hope to deliver the body to you on March 23rd, that is, provided Park Wards receive the cast wheel arches by March 4th. We have permission to go ahead with the second body - four-light Saloon - and what we would like to know is - whether there is any need to put it in hand at once. In order to come to a decision, can you tell us when you think the second chassis will be on the road and its number? EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
