| X180. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 20 HP Experimental Cars. Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 4/E14.5.30 You will remember that as per Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2/MJ.26.2.30 and Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 23/E3.3.30 the arrangement was that 14-G-4 would be transferred to Sales Dept. for sale when finished with in connection with the 10,000 mile test. If, as I assume, this arrangement still holds good, would you please let me know when you will have finished with the car. The body, I think, is more or less scrap but possibly the coachbuilders can make it satisfactory and, if, as I believe, they once complained that they did not get to know what happened to experimental bodies after they had supplied them to us at special prices, this would give them a very good insight.
