SPECIAL TOURING SALOON. X.5120. X.1085. Sales say that they will need a louvred bonnet on this, and subsequent cars. We believe that you have already set out a louvred bonnet for the 25HP. to meet customers requirements. Would you kindly send us a blueprint of the side panel of the bonnet as we wish to fit louvres in the scuttle to match those on the bonnet. These will be extracting louvres on the scuttle, fresh air being led into the scuttle from underneath the sloping floor. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
