| SECRET +300 E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/MN.27.8.35. To Hr. Copy to Lt. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RE OLYMPIA 40/50. We presume that wheel covers will be required for some of the Olympia 40/50 cars, and we would like to know whether you will require them fitted to the three Demonstration Cars 33-EX, 34-EX and 35-EX. Though there are modifications to the spoking of the wheel it will not affect the wheel cover, and we could probably loan a wheel and tyre to your Manufacturer of wheel covers if you would let us know to whom we should send it, and whether the secrecy(Aero Engine) can be suitably maintained.
