| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at W. X400. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}/Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}25/EDI/4-11-30. LEFT HAND P. II. CHASSIS. We want to provide the Autocar with a photograph of a left hand P. II - preferably a photograph of a complete car with the driver's door open so that the photographer can get a good view of the controls. We should like to have secured such a photograph of 25-EX but, of course, this is impossible. Our understanding is, however, that you have at W. another left hand P. II car with a Barker close-coupled Saloon body. Can you get this photographed for us please, explaining to the photographer the view we are aiming to get? We should, of course, want a fair sized photograph (say) about 6" X 8" and it would have to be a good one, suitable for reproduction. C. has authorised us to provide the photograph to the Autocar, if we can get it. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
