- 2 - contd. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}8/IH.23.7.34. chassis. If we sell this body we shall lose the opportunity of testing a lot of special features which we have had introduced, which include:- (1) Improved Sunshine Roof. (2) All Steel body bottomsides. (3) All Aluminium floor boards.and sheet steel wheel arches. (4) Rounded door jambs to reduce wind noises and anti-noise eddy-free front. (5) Steel wings and steps, with wings over the frame. (6) Heat shielded dashboard. (7) Limpet treated roof and panels. (8) Side wheel carrier. We suggest that we might consider using this body on one of the existing Experimental Chassis, the body of which has done a long mileage and is genuinely worn out. [Signature] | ||
