| X7960. S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C2/C2.7.30. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/MJ27.6.30 Yes, I think it would be quite all right to give your friend a run on 18-G4 so long as you are careful not to let him think there is anything new about it. The point really is that there are quite a lot of the older type about in the hands of ourselves and Retailers, so that he would really only get one like 14-G4 it he had one of the present production chassis, which we can no doubt arrange in the event of his ordering. I note you have two or three people who would be interested to see a car of the Geoffrey Smith type and if we have one available at any time we will let you know. C. | ||
