X5770 X5380 X5830 (handwritten note: on the road today) We have had the new 20 HP! chassis which has a new frame, fitted with a X. member, new petrol tank, smaller wheels, narrower hubs, modified engine suspension, stiffer crankshaft, tubular connecting rods etc. etc. We are also busy fitting the wings and valances as far as possible. We sincerely hope there will be no delay with the body because a special effort has been made at Derby to complete this chassis in time for your holiday. Although the body was promised for July the 20th! we now hear it is not likely to be ready. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
