S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}..from PN.{Mr Northey} Copy to EB x 7960 PN.{Mr Northey}/WT12.6.30. I propose taking a week's holiday from the 2nd July, in the Lake District, and I would be glad if you would please let me know whether you have any experimental car which I might usefully use during that time, putting in a few hundred miles under rather stressful conditions of running, i.e. hills etc. I am anxious to hear about this as soon as possible.
