E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3/WN. 30th. December, 1936. Messrs.Park Ward & Co., 473, High Road, Willesden, London, N.W.10. Dear Sirs, We wish to confirm our remarks to you during our visit of yesterday. 24.S.6. Enclosed Limousine. We confirm that you are awaiting the Aero glass for the doors of this car, and that we confirmed with you as to the fitting of Triplex Toughened glass in its place should the former not arrive in the course of the next two or three days. We have informed the Expl.Dept. that the body will be ready for them to collect early next week. We would be glad if you would give us about two days notice in order that we may arrange for a lorry to be available. We agree that should the Rhino Cork floorboards not be available in time for this car the standard floor boards may be fitted. 25.S.6. Continental Touring Limousine. We confirm that there is now no hold up on this car and that the body shell will be in the course of construction on the jig in the next day or two. In order to prevent any hold up we suggest that the Aero glass in the doors be replaced by Triplex Toughened glass. We are asking you, for this car, to suggest a lighter material than the normal india(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) sheet rubber, for the running board covering, and would be glad to receive from you a sample of any suggestion you may wish to make.
