Sidgreaves - MD}3/E8239 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} is anxious to find out whether the Lagonda Brooklands speed affair, which they did round about the time of the Show, is official, i.e. recognised and accepted by the RAC. Will you please ascertain and let me know. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} I am informed by Percy Bradley of Brooklands that this was not an R.A.C. official test.
