E.J. has asked us to reply and say that we presume it is clear that you would not buy the Lorraine Car without again referring to us. We have in mind that if it is desired to purchase one after Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has tried it, the best way would probably be to buy it in France, register it and send it over here on triptyque so as to avoid paying duty and return it to France after we have finished with it, for sale over there.
