MAYTHORN SALOON. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Evl/M29.11.22. X.3730.

We would like to point out that arrangements were made a long time ago for Maythorns to correct the seats and windscreen of this body. The reason it has not been done is because the car has been continuously employed on urgent experimental work.

As it happens, 7-Goshawk-11 has been the only modern Goshawk car available for experimental work for some considerable time. as soon as ever we can spare this car, it will be sent to Maythorns.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
