| X8260 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. re Bonnet Shutters. With reference to R2/M17/9/27, when can I see and try a car fitted with the improved design of louvres, to judge how far the noise of the engine can be heard especially when standing, with the louvred bonnets as compared with an entirely closed bonnet? Could I do this on Wednesday whilst I am at Derby? I am meeting Rx Mr.Royce on Thursday in London. BJ. | ||
