RE. "GOSHAWK 11" BODY.

The last time you were in Derby you mentioned that there was a Mulliner open body which had been made for a model for the Goshawk 11 chassis but which had been condemned by Mr. Royce as not being good enough. You said at that time that the arrangement was to use the body up on Goshawk 11 experimental car.

We should like to know from you whether this body is available.

We may have Goshawk 11 chassis ready in two or three weeks time and we should like to get hold of this body as quickly as possible.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
