| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x535 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG8.4.25. RE. 40 HP. FIAT. Referring to BJ5/H6.4.25. We could obtain much more information from the Fiat if it was tested at Derby because we have the necessary instruments to check the performance and also have standard measured roads and hills. We could take a complete test of the car in one day. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
