| 8992 RECEIVED [Stamped clock face with time approx 11:15] 1931 JAN H? To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Works re 27-EX. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E22.1.31 The above is the car which, I understand, was rushed through for R.{Sir Henry Royce} and for him to use in the South of France. I do not know quite what has happened about it but I understand he is still using 18-EX. Would you please let me know what the programme is for 27-EX. Is R.{Sir Henry Royce} still going to have it? If so, about when do you expect to send it? If R.{Sir Henry Royce} is not going to have it then it seems important to avoid making another new car second-hand and depreciating its value in consequence. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
