RE "GOSHAWK II" CHASSIS.-
TYPE OF BODIES TO BE FITTED.

--------------------------

With reference to the twelve "Goshawk II" Chassis being built.-

Will you kindly inform us what proportion of the Bodies for these will be of the Closed Type, as with this type of body it will mean that a different type of Rear Wing will be required from that on Touring Cars.

We require this information so that we can settle the number of sets of each type of wing to place on order.
