| EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} [Strikethrough] LS -> Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830. Ex/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}3/EDI/1-3-30. 20 H.P. EXPERIMENTAL PULLMAN LIMOUSINE. I have received a copy of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ28-2-30. In view of what Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} says about the suggested colour, I think we had better choose something else. None of us really liked Bergers' Mastic, and I suggest that when you are next here, we endeavour to find a colour which is likely to be more popular. Will Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} be good enough to return to me the pattern of paint which accompanied EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}'s Memo. to him? Hn{F. C.
