Dear JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager}, In view of your note I am arranging to come to Park Wards on Friday. I have got to do a job of work on the way and expect to get to Willesden about 11.30 a.m. I shall have to clear off again about 2.30, and I should like if possible to see what I can of the Cadillac coachwork, and of the progress of B-10-DG. at the same time. Could you find out what has happened to one of our experimental bodies - a drop head Coupe - which we sent down to Park Wards and which has been purchased by Mr. Leslie Hawkins ? The body is to be fitted to chassis B-106-DG, which will be arriving at the Coachbuilders next week. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
