Honeyman - Retail orders}1/MK.3.3.36. F.D. Dummy P.III Chassis. Your Ref: E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MN.29.2.36. We are glad to say that as a result of enquiries made of Smiths, Hoopers, Thrupp & Maberly and Park Ward, we have located the front wing stays, front apron and front bumper, but not the headlamps. We are arranging today for the parts traced to be handed over to Hoopers and will continue our search for the headlamps. There is, of course, now no need for D/BP. to send any parts on loan to Hoopers as even if we do not ultimately find the headlamps which were mislaid, we shall be able to supply Hoopers with a pair from our own stock at Lillie Hall.
