| S/W x7960. C20/C29.4.30. Re Car for Lord Wargrave. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/MJ25.4.30. ------------ I note that you are hoping to let us have the first left-hand chassis now running in France, which has a body similar to 1-WJ. His Lordship has telephoned and said what he wants is a body that will open, either a Landaulet or Cabriolet, or even an Open Touring car, but he will not have a Limousine with a fixed roof. Have you anything that would fill this bill? I am pleased to note that you think it quite possible that Dodd will be available for the job. The date will be from the 8th July to perhaps July 23rd or 24th. C. | ||
