With reference to our telephone conversation this morning, please note it has been decided not to go to the expense of adding hand controlled shock dampers to this car.

But as we mentioned to you, we are anxious to get the car just as soon as possible and shall be glad if Hd. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} will kindly let us know when we may expect it.
