| Copy of letter from Mr. Maurice Molloy. ---------------- Lark Stoke, Ipsden, nr. Oxford. 28th May, 1937. Dear Mr. Sidgreaves, I would have answered your letter of 20th before this, but after speaking to Mr. Bleaney on the telephone I thought I might hear further from you. My demonstration to him at Paddington only lasted for two minutes, as I had to hurry for my train. As you say Derby cannot be asked to remedy the very severe shudder (which has twice loosened the nuts on the exhaust), may I ask if your Company will sell this car for me? I am so sorry that such a delightful car is to my mind ruined by the clutch shudder and I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. I take this opportunity to thank you very much for your personal trouble. Yours truly, (Sgd.) Maurice Molloy. | ||
