To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. X8940 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG28.1.25. TESTS WITH EAC. CARS IN FRANCE. The first car going to France will go as the property of our man Mr. A.J.Lidsey. It was arranged that he was made a member of the R.A.C when taking out the cars for 4-wheel brake tests. Our experience, when running cars in France, is that it is an advantage for the Owner to be with the car. We will arrange to have the car invoiced to Mr. A.J.Lidsey, if you think it necessary.
