| W/S. X 7770 To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/AD21.10.29. 22-EX. Replying to your memo C16/C18.10.29, we think the car you must refer to is 21-EX. The cars we sent to you for trials purposes were 18-EX and 21-EX. 21-EX we have finished with as an experimental car, and we do not want it back at Derby. As regards 18-EX we should like to have this back as soon as you have finished with it. We have a number of new parts to fit to it, and the car is to be all re-painted before it goes to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence in December. We should like to know from you when you expect to have finished with it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
