[REDACTED] --------------------- SECRET Re SpectreCodename for Phantom III Cars for Demonstration & Olympia. ------------------------------------------ With reference to E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/MN.6.7.35 and C.3/G.2.8.35 we give below our proposed action in connection with the accessories for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III Cars for Olympia, the Demonstration Cars and the 4th.Experimental Car 33-EX. Fog Lamps. We are arranging to fit a bracket suitable for the Lucas fog lamp on the Experimental Car, the Demonstration Cars and the Olympia Cars. We take it that you will order the necessary lamps, and we would be glad if you would send us three lamps for the Demonstration Cars and Experimental Car. Head Lamps. We understand that the head lamps will be P 100 with dippers. We take it that you will order the necessary twelve sets and send us three sets for the two Demonstration Cars and the Experimental Car. Front Bumpers. We are fitting front bumper fittings to the chassis of all cars, and we note that a decision will be taken later as to whether front bumper will be a universal fitting or not. We shall need a front bumper however, for 33-EX.the Experimental Car, and we would be glad if you would arrange to have one dispatched to us, made by the J.R. Engineering Co. to our design LdU.4498. Rear Bumpers. The Demonstration Cars and the Olympia Cars will have rear bumper fittings provided on the chassis. These will take the form of a bracket which is bolted on. The design of this is in hand. Contd: | ||
