Dear Mr.Manning, Very many thanks for your letter. I apologise for being such a nuisance, but after much searching have found the road test of the Reo in the "Motor" of July 25th obtained from Reo Motors, Beavor Lane, W.6. If their car is'nt being worked off its feet, I should be very grateful for a run on it. Meanwhile, thanks very much for trying to arrange a trial of the Alvis in Birmingham. Yours sincerely, | ||
