PEREGRINE 2.
DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M19.9.31.

In order to make sure that the revised Peregrine 2. chassis will be suitable for receiving modern coachwork we have made N. scheme 3346. herewith showing a six light saloon on the chassis.
We have made this body to have the internal length of the same type of body on the Humber 16/50HP. We have improved on the latter due to our lower frame and rear seat cushion, both of which are bad on the Humber.
Will you please send SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} a print, and return the original to us.
