| S/W (Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}) 26.10.16. C3/H261016. Handwritten: X180 Handwritten: X3729 Re After the War Chassis. --------------------- b.T. Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}1/NJ121016 - I am afraid the two bodies I previously mentioned would not fill Mr. Royce's description. Of course I had not seen this when I first made enquiries. However, I have now found a body built for a Rolls-Royce which is in first class condition. It is a Barker and a small four-seater, something in appearance like the Holmes L-E body, but an improvement upon that. The price is £100. Do you think this will do for your open body? I have not so far been able to find a good enclosed limousine, but hope to do so. When do you want it by? C.
