E.A.C.11 BODIES. X8830

The reason of our asking for a covered body is because B.J. has definitely asked us to send to Sales an EAC.11. car fitted with a covered body.

As you are aware, we have no suitable body for the EAC.11. If it is decided to order covered bodies, we recommend that they should either be Cabriolet or Saloon. Either Limousines or Landaulets are not much used on experimental cars.
