We are not able to tell you at present when it is likely we shall finish with this car.
We require two Open Trials Cars in London, and at present 4/Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))/11 is the only one available, and this as you know has been returned to you for necessary adjustments.

In the course of the next week or two we may be able to let you know more definitely when 4/Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))/11 can be replaced, and it is noted that when we have finished with the latter you require it returned to you.
