Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}6/MK.{R. E. B. Meade-King} 4.7.35. Bodies for 20/25 H.P. Chassis. You will remember that some time ago you sent us for disposal a Park Ward 4-light saloon built for a wide framed J.3. chassis but which we believe had never been used. We had this body altered to suit a standard 20/25 H.P. chassis, had it mounted and sold the car. We have now again come into possession of the body having supplied the customer with another in its place. are We/accordingly faced with the necessity of disposing of it. We have no chassis on which it could be mounted and before selling it as it is for what it will fetch, we would like to know whether, now it has been altered to suit a standard 20/25 H.P. chassis, it is any use to you.
