| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} X4214 C13/06.11.23. Re Hispano Suiza. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG31.10.23. As I presume it will be too long for you to wait for a new Hispano Suiza, do you think it would be suitable for your purpose if we were to purchase for you the car referred to in the following extract of letter received from one of our Retailers:- "I have found a 1923 Hispano open touring car appx 4,000 mileage, still 2 1/2 years of guarantee to go. Delivery immediate. Hispano Suiza's guarantee that this is a 1923 chassis and up to date in every way. The price of this car is £1,700. This chassis is fitted in exactly the same way as chassis are at present being manufactured." I would suggest that you or your representative should try the car, if you should decide to purchase it.
