| X-685 TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/30.10.33. COPY TO WCR. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RE WORK. I hope to come to Derby on Wednesday or Thursday this week with the Streamline Bentley. It is proposed to work with Messrs Sanderson and Holmes on the front of 27EX. in order to make its appearance likely to be acceptable to Sales. It is going to be difficult to make the frontal appearance as good as that of the present Phantom. Whilst I shall be in Derby I want to make the drawings which are necessary for me to produce a body for the Vulture. These will consist of the following;- (1) Coachbuilders 1/2 Scale Layout. (2) Wheelarch Clearance Drawing. (3) Layout of Step-irons, Body Brackets & Wing Stays. (4) Scuttle Isolation Print. (5) Layout of Bonnet and Radiator. I have made a start on this but have not got very far due to having my time taken up until the Show with the Bentley bodies, and since the with the Streamline Car. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
