SECRET. E.A.C.II. X.8770 X.8830 X.8250/60 EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} leaves with you on Saturday morning the 26th inst. a blue print of N.Scheme 1828., shewing the revised proportions of the radiator, bonnet, and dash for the above car, as shown on N.Scheme 1826 - Sports Touring Car for EAC.2 left with you by Mr. Royce on Wednesday last. This drawing has been sent to Derby and they are making a model as suggested by R.{Sir Henry Royce} In connection with the sports touring car (N.scheme 1826) we have suggested to Mr. Royce, and he agrees, that we might suggest that should, as we believe, six of these cars be made, three might have the boat body, and three the body which is a four seater open touring car, very slim and narrow, but still retaining the necessary comfort for 4 people, but not the boat features. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} will supply you with a sketch of this in a short while. He will be in London again towards the end of the week, and if he can do anything to assist the job forward would you kindly let him know.
