We believe Sales will require this model of
car to have a louvred bonnet from the point of view of
appearance.

You are fitting to the car for R.{Sir Henry Royce} a rivetless
bonnet, and we would like the side panels of this to be
louvred out of the .104" aluminium, and to have no
stiffeners.

We are putting extractor louvres on the scuttle
to match the bonnet louvres, which we assume will be to
drawings F.55391/2. Fresh air will be fed to the scuttle
from below the sloping floor, and outside of the frame.
