| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X8774 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG3. 5. 27. 10-EX. X8774 X8830 You doubtless noticed the steps provided by Barkers on this car. In our opinion they rather spoil the appearance of the body. We wondered whether you would like to get us a design more in keeping with the streamline nature of the car? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
