| X8900 S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) from CWB. CWB20/LH{Mr Haworth}1.11.25. 10,000 MILES SALES TEST CHASSIS. I do not know whether you had contemplated putting the new wellbase rims on to the 10,000 Mile Sales Test chassis, but in view of the difficulties of obtaining replace tyres, it is desired that this car should be fitted with our present standard straight sided detachable rims. Will you please arrange this? What is the present state of progress of this chassis? It would be very helpful in dealing with the preparation of the body if you could let me have a note - say, twice a week, as to its state and anticipated date of delivery. CWB. | ||
