15-EX.

BJ11/E2.5.28

With reference to Hsl/LG20.4.28 it was agreed at the Derby conference yesterday that 15-EX car should be considered scrap and that the Jarvis body should be wedded to the chassis which was originally allotted to it.

Can this then be available for sale, or is it required specially for further experimental testing, bearing in mind that we do not want to develop high speed cars?

BJ.
