| PRIVATE. [Handwritten]: k8774 X7770 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. Sports Model. BJ22/E1.12.27 Kindly let me have a résumé of how this matter stands now. As far as I am aware there are three chassis, one just starting in a few days for WW, London and France for 10,000 miles; Nos.2 and 3 will be completed as quickly as possible afterwards to be ready for the Riviera and London Trials cars. Three bodies are being pushed on night and day at the coachbuilders in London. On what date do you expect the car will start for WW.? BJ. | ||
