re- Car for R. {Sir Henry Royce}

Cx {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} 32/KW10.5.32.

As you know, we are taking over 20-G-4 to use as a Demonstration Car and you are letting R. {Sir Henry Royce} have a car in its place - I believe it is 16-G-4 which I saw when last up at the Works with you.

Would you please tell me if 16-G-4 is ready for R's use, and if so whether, if Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} agreed, we could have it in London until R hands over 20-G-4 ? We should probably be able to make use of a synchro-mesh gearbox 25 h.p. Demonstration Car next week for certain special cases, and we want to lose no time in getting on with some appointments as soon as we have a car of this sort to use.

Your early reply will be very helpful.
