Dear Mr. Hopps, Thank you for your letter of the 5th November. I am inclined to agree with you about the merits of the flexible body construction. We have certainly had excellent results from coachwork of this type built by Vanvoorens of Paris. If you think of having such a car, I should be very interested to know the results you obtain. We have one running at the Works now, which you could try any time you are here. Yours sincerely, | ||
