| Dor{Mr Dorey} c Gry{Shadwell Grylls} JPB AHB 3/CAH 21 10 65 I thought the following quote from a senior member of the Esso organisation might be of interest to you: "Although you personally are not in the Car Division, you are the only gentleman of the Company with whom I have any contact, so I must pass through you my congratulations on the truly beautiful piece of engineering I saw at the Paris Show last week. There is no doubt that the new car will carry on the tradition of publicising the fact that in this country when we want to we can leave everybody else stone cold when it comes to producing first class engineering as a thing of beauty."
