| S/W 1070 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 3½-litre Jaguar Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/E11738 Copy to BL.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [text crossed out] I seem to remember that, when we decided to purchase this, it was said that we should only need to keep it a very short time and, therefore, there was very little risk of our losing much on it. I find that we have now had it 4 months. The selling season will soon be over and I should like to know what the position is from the point of view of how much longer we want to keep it. I should also like to have a report in due course as to what 'we have got out of it'. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
