| 300b To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}6/AP.15.12.36. RE. CONTINENTAL PHANTOM III. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} does not want to add any extra weight to this car by fitting the 2" larger apron, we should therefore like to forggt this on the first Continental car. We should certainly like Lucas windscreen wipers if you can arrange this. Re. 24.G.6. We should very much like to try the Rhino Cork Core Ply boards for the whole of the floor of this body as you suggest. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
