| To Lp.{Mr Lappin} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X8774 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RMLO/MJ.17.9.29. You have no doubt been caused a considerable amount of pain by your petrol gauge on 10-EX. I now have a complete new petrol gauge to suit your car which I should like to put on when circumstances permit. Additionally I expect you have by now a considerable list of complaints which will require attending to. I hope to take four or five days holiday the first week in October and should like to run 10-EX if it is available as it is a pleasant car to drive. I could get the jobs done then. You might let me know whether you can spare the car then. We could probably lend you something else if you want to do any motoring. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
