ACCIDENT TO - 3-GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))-11

Attached please find report from our Tester
Lidsey on accident to the above car.

Messrs. Sanderson have examined the damage and
estimate that the wings and panel will cost -
to put right.

The petrol tank could probably be repaired, but
it would be quite in order to claim for a new one.

The accident is all the more serious as the car
had just left the Coachbuilders after having been completely
done up as new.
