| X7830 To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hsl/LG18.11.26. EAC-7 CHASSIS. X7838 X7770 We anticipate having this chassis running on the road in 7 to 10 days. We should like to know when the body will be completed. We have sent to Hoopers all the parts which have been asked for on the subframe. We are anxious to get the body as soon as possible because the alterations would be very conspicuous on a chassis - they would not be so noticeable on a complete car.
