Honeyman - Retail orders} Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} E.3/HP.13.5.37. Wraith Coachwork. --------------- The following gives the completed list of six bodies for the Wraith:- (1) Limousine } Delivered and mounted. (2) C.T.L. } (3) Limousine. Replica of No.1 except lighter, due to leaving out Phantom type strengthening features. Ready for delivery now, and transport arranged to Derby. (4) Four door Saloon. Almost ready. (5) C.T.L. similar to No.2. } To be ordered immediately. (6) Limousine similar to No.3} Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has specially requested a limousine for No.6 as this is the most important type of which the largest numbers are sold, and also it is giving us most trouble with regard to noise. At some future time a Sedanca will be built, but we are not interested in this at the moment. EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} is going down to Park Ward's immediately to inspect No.3 body before it leaves and will make arrangements with respect to (5) and (6). Normally these bodies take 12 weeks to build without overtime, but Messrs. Park Ward's will be asked to say in what shorter period they can be delivered, and at what extra cost.
