| Y+8r. W/S. To PN.{Mr Northey} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MJ.27.7.32. ALFA-ROMEO. CAR. Confirming our conversation with you on the telephone today, this car is now at Lillie Hall. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} was unable to bring it back to Derby because the clutch was slipping too badly to drive the car. The simplest procedure would be to get Alfa-Romeos to service the clutch and then let us know so that we can send a driver to collect it. The Alfa people will probably tell you that the front brakes are not connected up but we know this. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
