R6/M7.5.28.

PHANTOM - MODIFIED RADIATOR, BONNET X.7250
AND POSSIBLY DASHBOARD. X.7260
---------------------------------------

There are certain modifications for the Show
chassis which might be made to G.2. B. series.

Apparently they affect the sideplates of the
radiator, the bonnet, and possibly the dash.

Have you particulars from DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}, and can we
put the modifications on G.2.B. series, without cost, or with
some cost, in scrap?

This is an immediate improvement in appearance,
and is very much desired by the coachbuilders.

It is nothing to do with the improved N.schs.
2593/4. It is suggested for the 'SS{S. Smith}' chassis, although
anything will do to get this 'SS{S. Smith}' chassis on trial.
