Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG5/12.27. - pleased to note you will have a dummy Sports Chassis at the end of this week. From conversation I have had on the telephone with Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} I believe it is your intention to send it to Lillie Hall which in the circumstances, I think will be the best. I also understand from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} that he has arranged with you to make up another one which seems essential in view of the pressure which has been put on the Coach-builders in connection with the production of these bodies and the fact that it looks like being a very considerable time before we should otherwise be able to offer them anything to put the bodies on.
