| W/S. +3317 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG16.4.28. Dear Henderson, With reference to your note of the 12th.inst. We had a Buick 23 HP. car the other day for test. The Buick is a very practical motorcar - the riding and the consumption were the worst features. From my experience however, I prefer the 23 HP. Chrysler to the Buick. The Chrysler is lighter and has a better performance. I hope you are not thinking of buying an American car, because there are several quite good British 6-cyl. cars. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} has just taken delivery of a 14-HP. 6-cyl. Austin which is quite a good proposition. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
