| X5830 S/W Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} 028/02.6.37 Re AU H.M. for HW. Red/LMS.1.1.2 This body is already painted buff, and to change the colour to grey would cost about £10. Hoopers would want a pattern of grey, or to see 7-RX. If you think it is necessary to have the car painted grey, will you please let Hoopers see 7-RX. As the chassis is not yet with Hoopers little or no delay would result. C. | ||
