We agree to your proposal concerning the type of body that should go on to the third "Wraith" experimental car, namely, an Enclosed Limousine similar to that already built for 24-G-6, and we are therefore instructing Park Ward suitably. You will of course bear in mind that only three experimental chassis were authorised, so that you have no further chassis now for which you will require a body, and therefore the Sedanca body will apparently have to wait. I am little puzzled by the heading to your memo, which reads - " Re Bodies for Wraith III and Wraith II". What is the difference between Wraith, Wraith II and Wraith III, please ? Cx. {Major Len W.
