Barkers say they will require the chassis for the above body at least one week before completing, in order to make and fit wings, running boards etc., as well as to fit the body. This on the understanding that no elaborate paint-work will be required for their new scuttle. I therefore suggest that the chassis should be sent to them as soon as possible.
