re. CHASSIS 9-PK. - ENCLOSED LIMOUSINE X8770 AT HOOPERS.
Hoopers inform us that in order to complete this car and get it on the road they need the change speed lever which was taken off and we believe taken to Lillie Hall, also some wing lamps. Besides these they also require a Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) type of Lucas switchbox, for although they fitted the New Phantom(Codename for PHANTOM I) switchbox into the instrument board, it cannot be wired up to this chassis, so that in order that we may be able to use the lamps we shall temporarily rig up a Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) box. They also need a battery and box.
