With reference to the Goshawk 11. car which I propose bringing to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence, we expect that this car will be ready on March 6th. I hope to cross over with it on the 7th.March.

When it is complete, it will have on it all the latest pieces such as - R.R. electrical system and the proposed standard wiring. it will also have the new frame, front axle, pivots, steering levers, petrol tank and wheel carrier. It will also be fitted with R-R mudguards, valances, wing stays and will have on it the Hooper open-touring body which has been prepared to our LeC. drawings.

We will let you know if there is any alteration in the date on which the car will be completed.

MADE AT CROXLEY
