Sidgreaves - MD} [text struck through] re 25 HP Car. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E23.11.33 I am in receipt of Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/MT.21.11.33 and note the one or two difficulties you point out in regard to carrying into effect My's suggestion of a lengthened Peregrine chassis fitted with a 20/25 engine to improve the 20/25 car from the point of view of both performance, appearance etc. C. and I propose coming to Derby very shortly and I think the best way will be for this matter to be discussed further then and a decision arrived at as to the next steps to be taken to improve the existing car.
