Honeyman - Retail orders} EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Sft.{Mr Swift} E.3/HP.8.5.36. Petrol Fillers on side of body. We consider it is important to standardize the petrol filler on the side of the body for Phantom III and Bentley at the earliest possible moment, and we should be glad if you could urge standardization sheets for this where possible. We understand that Sales have approved of this fitment from the appearance point of view. Sales require 50 of these for the all metal Bentley bodies, and unless we can put tools in hand the cost of these is likely to be very high. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
