To Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} From Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/MJ.24.3.32.

J.3. Car.

We should be commencing to fit the body on this car on Thursday of next week. We should be very glad for you to come to Derby, and when you can we think you should be prepared to stay at least a week.

From previous experience we should quite expect it to take this time to fit a new type body on to a new type chassis.

We have sent the note to Mr. Park, as suggested.

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
