| W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at W. Bag. R7960. Hnl/I/18-5-31. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has instructed us to allocate to you for experimental purposes a modern 20/25 complete car, and we have selected for the purpose GLR-81 the body of which is a metal panelled Weymann six-seater Enclosed Limousine. The car is at present with Messrs. George Heath of Birmingham and they are sending it up to you. In using the car kindly bear in mind that the body is of the metal panelled Weymann type and in consequence may be more silent than the coachbuilt body, such as is fitted to the majority of our chassis. If necessary you will doubtless make allowance for this in conducting your experiments. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} HN{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} RECEIVED 1931 MAY 18 | ||
