We propose coming to W.W. arriving Tuesday
morning next. We do not think 4-Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11 will
be completed by the Coachbuilders, in that case, we
shall bring a 40/50 HP. - 49-GB which is fitted with
the Repair Dept. scheme of C.A.V. starter motor and
all other modern improvements.

We also propose bringing a German Bosch starter
motor and Generator.
