Biraben} /A.H.1.S.H. 12-GIV. This car is now completed with the modified radiator and front xmsine apron. It is proposed that Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /CWH. will take this car to London on Thursday morning and we hope that Hales will be able to have finished with the car at lunch-time, the only point of interest being the appearance of the radiator which has been altered since they last saw the car. In the afternoon the car will then go to Brooklands and will arrive at West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) on Friday morning. After there it will proceed to Folkestone and cross over on Saturday morning. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
