| S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8830 Re Test Bodies. C9/C10.10.23. We propose allocating 98-NK which is now at Barkers and having this fitted with the Open Touring body which is ready there. Will you please let me know if you agree. We have already alloted you chassis Nos. 93-NK and 35-PK. Could you send one of these to Park Ward's straight away? The latter would be most suitable because this has heavier springs and would be suitable for an All-weather Cabriolet; possibly the springs would be too heavy, but I presume you could change these when you get the car back. Could you also send 93-NK to Barkers to be fitted with a second Touring body. The other two chassis we have alloted are 42-PK, 46-PK and 48-PK. These are all at Derby with "D" columns. I will advise you what to do with these. C. | ||
