EXPERIMENTAL CAR - 44-PK. 48770

We have no further use for 44-PK as an experimental car. We are therefore handing it over to the Repair Dept. for them to prepare for sale.

This car is fitted with a Barker double limousine. It was originally a Silver Ghost(1907 40/50 historic RAC 15,000 miles trial) chassis, but was altered to a 'V' series Phantom. We do not want the body.

We will forward to Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} ! a list of the experimental parts fitted to this car.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} !
