Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 4/MJ.26.10.32. Cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary}

The body is finished and is available any time
we require it.

The longest job is the gearbox, which is at W.W.
We have spoken to Hdy. {William Hardy} on the phone and he has promised to
do all possible to let us have the final details of this at
Derby as soon as possible.

RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} and myself are hoping that we shall have a
Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) car before the end of this year.
