R.{Sir Henry Royce} wishes to see this car before it is disposed of. As far as we know he has no intentions of keeping it. We anticipate taking this car to WW. in 10 to 14 days. If then R.{Sir Henry Royce} has no further interest in it, we will have it over to the Test Dept. to be dealt with in a similar way to 16-EX. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
