Thanks for Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/R5.1.39, from which I note that you are now handing this car over to Repair Dept. to be got ready for sale.

We think it wise that the chassis should conform to our usual standard, and would be glad to know to what series it can be attached. We probably shall have to renumber it in due course, and this information will help us to select the proper lettering.

An approximate mileage total will help us to fix a selling price, having regard to the work done and its age.

Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}
