Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will make the necessary arrangements for the fitting of the open touring body to the short type EAC.VIII chassis which is being prepared. In regard to your last paragraph reading as follows:- "Are you any further with the design for the Covered car, "because we would like to know at as early a date as "possible so that we can have a body built on this "occasion so that when the car is complete it will not "be a compromise." this is a matter for Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}'s Department, and I am therefore leaving the matter in his hands.
