| large limousine type of coachwork. I propose to have as small a body as possible, and hoped that a corresponding reduction in weight would justify a chassis with slightly more life, without loss of smoothness, silence etc. I presume you are attending to the lower steering, as I have already heard that this can be supplied. I would, however, appreciate assurance on this point, and hope you can still do something about the former. Yours sincerely John M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Colville | ||
