9-PK CAR.

We should like to know when we are likely to
receive 9-PK car so that we can remove the body, wings etc.
We are anxious that the car shall not be used as
a demonstration car, because as we pointed out to you
previously, the chassis was only rushed together with the
idea of being a means for carrying subframe bodies.
