Replying to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}16/KW.5.11.35, we never had any idea of providing a chassis for this body. We have, however, an experimental chassis which is fitted with a drop head body. We want to replace the body and are willing to have the aluminium and steel body fitted to it. If we do this, we shall of course have to keep the chassis for experimental work, but shall be able to keep the body under observation.
