| To C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X180 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG27.2.28. RE. COMPANY'S CARS. X180 X.3408 (crossed out) We make a point of going over the Co's cars every DEXRX month to see which can be got rid of. Although we have had the Hawk Northcliffe stored away for 4 or 5 years, we have now found it necessary to bring it out again in order to carry out some experiments. If we had scrapped this car, the experiments would have been very much more expensive. 11-G3 car is still required and will be until we get another 20 HP. to replace it. As regards the Lancia Lambda. This car was mysteriously sold in London. Tr.{Capt. F. W. Turner - Finance} can tell you about it. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
