| X7380 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/25.6.30. X.7380 X.4605 X.7772 RE : SUBFRAME ON 25-EX. You may have noticed that the subframe of 25-EX is not quite up-to-date in one respect. It was made in accordance with our original scheme and has a lip for floorboards on the front of the first subframe crossmember. This is not now required and should be removed both from the crossmember and from the side member in front of the crossmember. The front floorboards should be fitted up in accordance with N.Sch.3117. We presume that you will be able to make the necessary arrangements to paint the bonnet and to put the fine line on the moulding as the coachbuilders have not been allowed to have the bonnet. We are leaving all the accessories for this car to you as we understood that you were arranging with Oy. to fit as far as possible such accessories as will eventually be used on R.R.A.I. cars.
