Hornet is an unstable car, and am trying to get bought out by the insurance Co instead of having it re-built.
If I succeed in arranging this, I will be on the look out for another car.
I understand the "Alfa Romeo" may be available soon and would like to discuss this when I see you on Monday.
My brother's latest effort is a Wizard, he has put the engine into a Lancia chassis and it is a 100% job.

Yours sincerely,
Ranald W Hawk(Aero Engine)er
