S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3730 C10/C13.10.20. Re Goshawk. ------- We quite agree that it would not be wise to place an order for this body in London, in fact we do not think an order should be placed anywhere as being for this chassis. We think the best way will be for us to get a body built quite separately, for no chassis in particular, but call it a shop car. You could supply us with the necessary coachbuilders measurements and we will have it done at a small firm in London and then send it to you when ready so that you can fit it on to the chassis. Perhaps you will let us know if you agree, and if so send us along the measurements, without any name attached. C. W | ||
