Sidgreaves - MD}2/K10.4.29. You will remember that this car was taken to Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence by Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} We understand that Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is now on his way back from Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence with this car and we expect it will be handed over to the Testers at Chateauroux about the end of the week. The news we received was that R.{Sir Henry Royce} was rather disappointed with this car, but the points he took exception to were the standard 20 HP. parts and not the new pieces which had been fitted.
