| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3730 C12/C23.2.22. Re Hooper Body for Goshawk. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/HL22.2.22. If the construction of the body had been farther forward Hoopers could have finished within two or three days, but the construction was delayed badly by ourselves. However, I think the best thing will be for you to let us have the chassis on the 2nd or 3rd March, as mentioned, and depend upon Hoopers doing everything that is humanly possible to get the car through for you by the 6th.
