| TO HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST. FROM EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} WST 86116 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/13.2.34. COPY TO CX.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}E.C. RE HEADLAMPS FOR 21-G-4. We are interested to hear that you are proposing to test a pair of Zeiss Headlamps but suggest to you that you might like not to fit them to 21-G-4. or even 28.EX. or 5.B.4. as these are all cars with the revised front apron and front wings, and will be submitted to Sales for their approval of the new appearance. We are just a little afraid that the addition to the appearance of a new type of lamp might complicate the issue. They could be tried on any of the existing cars. | ||
