To E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} X5840 Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/IH.1234. re 25-HP. 10,000 Miles Test Car. The steering for this chassis will be 'F' type. We believe we have told you already that the bonnet will be the standard bonnet with sloping louvres and sloping back-end. A single spare wheel carrier should be fitted on the offside, which we believe to be the standard position. With respect to the weight of the complete coachwork, this may be taken as 9 1/2 cwts.
