| contd :- -2- What is there to prevent us doing this? It is also proposed that when the tests are completed the car could be left in France and so provide you with a car on which duty has been paid. We should be greatly obliged for your help in this matter. You will realise that briefly - we wish to get a car into France without divulging any particulars. At the present time we are registering and licencing cars as standard 40/50 HP. cars. This means that we shall pay slightly more tax than we need, but going into France we shall still wish to declare them the same bore and stroke although these dimensions have been altered.
