This is to confirm our conversation of yesterday, concerning the registration plates of the above car, now at Messrs Baker. & Olaf St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} London. We would be glad if you could let them have a set of plates, - private registration as you suggest - at their works at Olaf St by Saturday morning next, as Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} hopes to bring the car to W.W to test & demonstrate to "R". To properly test the car it is necessary to have a full quota of passengers & therefore limited Trade Plates would be no use, EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} CHASSIS- G.F. 68. COLOUR - LIGHT GREY.
