| S/W.....Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Trll/D10.1.35. Re: Chassis B-104-DG. - R.P. Collyer for Mr. Huntley Drummond. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW.8.1.35, it would appear from previous correspondence that Mr. Huntley Drummond hardly uses his car at all in the winter in Canada, and we are aware that he is coming over to England to take delivery of the car in question and probably use it over here for a short time. We are not certain, therefore, whether he would agree to accept larger wheels and road springs to give roughly 1½" more clearance, and we are writing to enquire. In the meantime, however, it will be quite in order to go ahead with the bonnet with shutters and the geared starter motor, and I will let you have Mr. Huntley Drummond's instructions re the remaining items as soon as possible.
