chassis 9-PK

Further to our memo Wa.{Mr Wallis}GS.6/Go.31.3.24 we have delivered above chassis to coachbuilders to-day who promise to have the body repaired and refitted, not later than the 10th inst.

This is the best we can do as the repairs are difficult to carry out, so many of the principal pieces of wood which form the frame have been split and have to be replaced.

Will you let me know what we are to do with the car when it is finished.
