Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} --------- E1/HP.1.3.32. re Alfa - Romeo. ------------- With regard to the above car we have not yet got half the information we require from it. We have now 4 or 5 people working on the Bensport designs at Derby, and WW. and as these have points of similarity with the Alfa, as for example the engine and supercharger we are taking a great interest in the latter car. There is also the possibility that we may require to refer back to the Alfa when we get the Bensport running. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
