As mentioned to you on the telephone last week I shall be in Derby tonight and at the Conference at the Works tomorrow (Tuesday). You rather suggested it might be possible for me to bring down to London with me 34-EX which could then be used for demonstration work in place of 35-EX. It would be a great help to us if you could arrange it this way, as we are very anxious now to demonstrate with an up-to-date car, particularly having regard to the carburation, since we have made it known generally that we have abandoned the four-carburetter scheme. I shall therefore be quite prepared to drive the car down to London if you can have it ready. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} -Lub (signature) Stamp: RECEIVED 5 MAY 1936 | ||
