| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAC. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 404 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/ET.8.7.41. MISS B.V. BODY. ------------------ Confirming our conversation, I am suggesting that this car has a folding luggage grid, with a spare wheel at the back. The Corniche chassis to which it is to be fitted has a frame that was specially made to enable the spare wheel to go at the back, but it has not got a folding down luggage grid. Possibly the work you have done on the Myth should help Ward to do the job. With regard to the front appearance, I am proposing at the moment to make this the same as 11.B.V, unless you can suggest any improvement. There is small picture in existence of 11.B.V. 4.B.50 will be something like 11.B.V when it returns, but not quite so good looking, as it has a higher radiator and a wider track.
