| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} (Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) RECEIVED 2 OCT 1930 x7120 Whr {Mr Wheeler} /Mac {Mr Macintosh} 6/D18.10.30. Re: Chassis 26-EX. - Barker Continental Touring Saloon. We find that on the return of this car to London for use at Olympia, the French "Acquit-a-Caution" was inadvertently definitely cancelled at Boulogne instead of having the exit of the car stamped as being only temporary. It is, therefore, necessary for you to sign a further Application Form for "Acquit-a-Caution". This is enclosed and we would ask you to kindly return it to us as quickly as possible and we will make the necessary arrangements at the R.A.C. for a new "Acquit". The existing Carnet for all other countries, except France, and the International Travelling Pass still hold good. Att: 1. Whr {Mr Wheeler} /Mac. {Mr Macintosh} | ||
