We shall hand this car over to the Transport Dept. at Derby on Monday. We shall then consider it no longer an Experimental Car. We have passed a copy of your note (C9/C15.1.26) on to the Transport Dept. so that they can arrange for some of the Sales critics to test this car. They will then arrange for the criticisms raised to be dealt with by the Repair Dept. or themselves. The Transport Dept. will no doubt arrange for the return of 10-AU car to you for sale.
