This is the chassis with the experimental engine mounting which we understand you are anxious to try. The renovation of the coachwork in preparation for the sale of the car as second-hand was recently completed and yesterday we were able to interest a possible buyer in it whom we have every reason to expect will decide to purchase. In this case delivery will be required not later than Wednesday of next week, so that if you wish to try the car on the road, the test will have to be made before Wednesday next. We should receive some notice of when your man will arrive in London for the purpose of testing the car as without this he may turn up only to find the car on the road giving a trial run to the likely buyer.
