| You really ought to have a run in it because it is wonderful. If you are coming to London in the near future, I can fix a run with the owner for you. If you are abroad & this is sent on to you try & get a run in a new "Type Boulogne". I have never been so shoved up about any motor car before. You promised me my new car will be as good as any Hispano & I have such faith in you all that I believe it. But, believe me, you have got something to beat. I am told this car will go to 90 mph quicker than a 40/50 goes to 60. I want to see RR beat this foreign thing. Kind regards Yours sincerely G.R.N. Minchin | ||
