X.3507. RE 6.EX. LUGGAGE GRID. Mr. Royce has written to say that he would like a luggage grid fitted to this car. We think the best way would be to supply him with a luggage grid similar to that on Lord Herbert's car, which, we understand, is an American luggage grid folding dwon over the petrol tank. Do you think you could obtain another luggage grid of the same kind, or if not, could you send us particulars of the one on Lord Herbert's car so that we could have it made here, and make any necessary modifications to enable it to be fitted to the standard brackets ? As 6.EX will probably be over to see Mr. Rouce next week, there is not time to do it before it goes, and we shall endeavour to get it ready, and fit it the next time the car comes up to Derby.
