CJ6/E26/4/22 Please arrange that the car which is about to com- plete the 10,000 miles should not be brought home. Any broken parts can be replaced in France but the driving at 350 miles a day should be continued until we have completed 20,000 miles before the car returns to Derby. Possibly we may arrange that a part of the second 10,000 miles may be driven by amateurs. CJ. | ||
