| X4015 X3840 12 To B.J. from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to C. Hsl/LG28.5.23. 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 Car. X4015 X3730 We are very anxious to get hold of this car. Mr. Royce has asked us to prepare another car for W.W. and we have no car fitted with a body of which he approves. If we could get hold of 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 we could change the engine unit on there and be able to give R. {Sir Henry Royce} something which would satisfy him.
