| x7960 Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/KT.12.4.33. We were interested to read Mr.Kaye Don's letter but you will realise as well as we do that the speeds mentioned are considerably in excess of what the car can actually do. We have had 20-MY on the Track, and the timed lap speed was 87 m.p.h. We should expect under favourable conditions the car might actually do 90 m.p.h. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
