This is the car which I understand has the engine rubber mounting, and that you wish to put through some tests before it disappears into the 'blue'. It is just finished being painted and varnished and is ready for sale. We are not at all keen on it being given up to your tender mercies if we can avoid it. Will you let me know whether your purpose could be served by the test in question being made in London by one of your staff, instead of the car going to Derby. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
