| To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 3/E31.1.36 - 2 - tests, i.e. do we still want to keep it? Is it in good running order and condition? If so, I think that we should rather like to have it in London for a few days so as to refresh our minds as to what it was like. It is just about a year since I drove it. Then there are the two American cars, the Packard and the Buick, and one wonders whether we really want to keep these after dismantling for inspection has been completed and the chassis put together again. I raise the question because both are fitted with straight eight engines in which we, I think, are not now interested. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
