MYTH BODY.

There are two points which must not be overlooked before the Myth body design is finalised. These are :-

1. The bonnet line should be such that, if necessary, a Rolls Royce radiator can be fitted to the car.

2. We have got to show a picture of a 6-light, and also what tools will be required to make it.

We have, of course, laid down that we are not prepared to spoil the appearance of the 4-light in order to save tool costs in producing the 6-light. We propose to have a talk at the end of this week to see whether, if, when the bonnet line and the wind-screen top rail have been dealt with, we can release the design to the model maker.
