W/S C. from Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} X4086 RE. 10,000 MILES GOSHAWK. Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}3/LG28.2.22. X4086 X373D We are striving to finish off the first of the three chassis by today week and hope to be able to despatch it by that time to Mulliners to have the all-weather body fitted to it. We are anxious that no time shall be wasted in the fitting of the body and should be glad to know what is the shortest time in which the work can be carried out as we wish to fix an early date for the car to be sent to France. We should also like to know the weight of the body so as to make sure that the springs will be correct. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} | ||
