With regard to your request for a 20 HP car which you could use in France. There is no experimental car available fitted with 4-wheel brakes. We have however an old type 20 HP. car (6-G-11) We have now finished with this car as regards experimental work. We are proposing handing this car over to Sales Dept. for sale. If you could therefore make the necessary arrangements with the Administration, we think this car would suit your purpose. When you have done with it, we no doubt it will be arranged to send this car to the Repair Dept. for it to be overhauled and prepared for sale. We take it that C. will give the Repair Dept. the necessary instructions as regards dealing with this car when PN.{Mr Northey} has finished with it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
