| To PN.{Mr Northey} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} V-66 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/MJ. 20.2.32. PHANTOM 11 OVERHEATING. Replying to PN.{Mr Northey}12/WT.19.2.32. We think it is essential that Baron von Boecklin should be allotted a Phantom 11 car which has the latest radiator having the copper indented tubes. These radiators are just being fitted on production, but as there is always a certain amount of wangling on chassis allotments I think it should be laid down definitely that this car must have the latest radiator and also be fitted with a loured bonnet. With these two additions we should not fear any complaints. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Returned herewith, letter from Baron von Boecklin. | ||
