Derby............Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X263 Showrooms Sr/Dn9/MLG.19.9.35 Re- B-23-AE Thanks for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.17.9.35 . I had a talk on the telephone this morning with Chateauroux and they are arranging for Roberts to come up to Paris tomorrow to collect this car and drive it to Boulogne-sur-Mer. Vanvooren have not quite finished the little items they were attending to on the body work but I am getting them to finish tese rapidly with the hope that the car may cross the chanel on Saturday, with Roberts as we wired London today. The Temporary Admission Acquit has been sent to Boulogne-sur-Mer and Roberts will be instructed to get in touch with The General Transport C°, Mr. Guillain so that the Customs formalities are properly attended to and I therefore do not foresee any difficulties in this respect.
