| Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KW. 11th June, 1936. E.R. Hall, Esq., Hotel de Paris, Le Mans, FRANCE. Dear Hall, I have analysed the components of your car. I enclose the weight summary. You will observe that your body and wings are only 160 lbs. lighter than Sr's four-door demonstration Saloon complete with luggage accommodation and wings. I cannot quite reconcile this figure with the 170 lbs. which you quoted as being the total weight of your body structure. Yours sincerely, | ||
