| - 2 - It will, I think, be seen at a glance, that we cannot hope to sell this outfit for £32.15.6. Even if we only added the usual 33 1/3% it would mean having to sell it for £24-5-0. which seems equally hopeless - and in addition, this would not allow an attractive discount to Coachbuilders and Agents. A decision therefore appears to be required as to whether the manufacture of these should be proceeded with. I understand R.{Sir Henry Royce} is very keen because of it bringing the spare wheel weight at the back of the Chassis but to introduce them as an optional extra at this price, would mean that very few people would have them.
