When this car was sent to Spain for the Trials, it was fitted with a Holmes' body, which cost the Company £ 136/-/-

The car is now to be fitted with a new Barkers' body, and Mr.Johnson requests that the old Holmes' body be bought by the Works for experimental purposes. Will you please let me know at what price the Works will purchase the old body.
