| Y3729 W/S C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG19.9.22. 1.EX EXPL: CAR. X3763 / X3729 We wish to dispose of the above car. This car was the first car built after the Armistice. It has run altogether approximately 25,000 miles. The car needs a thorough overhaul otherwise it is quite modern. It has - a Thermostat, enclosed wiring, Hartford shock absorbers. We should like to dispose of the body with the car. The body is a Holmes 4-seater open touring. We already have a similar body to what is fitted to this car which we are not using. Another reason, is that when we come on to experimental 40/50 chassis, these will all be the long type chassis and we shall need new bodies so that we want to get rid of all our old stock.
