| S/W. {Sales / Derby Works} To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Copy to BJ. C. GMB. X5770 PN {Mr Northey} 3/EH.17.12.26. 20 H.P. Car - 9G-III. With reference to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 5/LG16.12.26., at the time of writing this car has not yet arrived. I think the best plan, unless you have some good reason to wish otherwise, would be for this car to remain with us over Christmas. It will then give certain officials here who are interested in the modifications fitted to this car an opportunity of trying this car out during the holidays. I shall certainly like to take it for a couple of days myself. BJ. will probably wish to try the car later on, after he has had an opportunity of reading the opinions of those who will be trying it immediately. PN. {Mr Northey} | ||
