| -2- Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}28.10.39. The scuttle offers no difficulty as we have no bonnet and radiator for this car, and wewant a Bentley type scuttle form. We could easily accommodate the sheet metal dash by cutting off the scuttle of the existing body, and re-building. We would like to know whether you would accept this expense and tolerate the spare wheel lying in the luggage boot - on the floor, and not below it. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
