re S.S. Car Body comparison
Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}3/AH.22.10.38.

We agree that there is a very little difference between the two sets of figures in question, in the S.S. and Park Wards which were supplied complete with photographs.

7.B.5. body shell weight also comes within 10 lbs. of this figure.

8.B.5. body shell weight is however 1/4 cwts. heavier than the Jaguar.
