Continental Touring Limousine. We wish to clear up certain details covering the above body which you are building to replace the original Enclosed Limousine for this chassis now taken over for another purpose. (1) Have you a screen wiper for this car? If not we will supply you with a Lucas Dual Wiper. (2) We would like you to fit this car with a T.& M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} type division, which we think should be electrically operated, as we understand such an operation is becoming popular, and we would like to gain experience with it. (3) The coachwork should be to the specification already given to you in our E/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/MN.20.11.36. for 25-G-VI. and 28-G-VI. except for all subsequent modifications to the chassis afterwards, notified, and in particular those enumerated in De/Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}20/N. of November 15th.1937. (4) We have decided to have this car finished in two shades of green, a copy of the P.III Continental Touring Limousine 35-EX. Will you please send us a sample paint panel, and patterns of leather, cloth and carpet. Continued..... | ||
