It will also be desirable to have another car with a 6-cylinder high power cast iron engine, and this will probably be run in a Silver Dawn chassis.

In order to give the Works the best possible opportunity of getting ready for the 1940 Motor Show, we should like to release material in February 1940, and, therefore, hope to get these last two Continental tests completed before this date.

The object of sending four cars out as soon as possible is that we get the advantage of fine weather conditions which enable a much better mileage to be put up per day.
