| V 4027 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}E. re Peregrine. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}18/E26.11.34 Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} has reminded me that I omitted to mention anything in the Conference notes about the above. This is just to confirm and place on record the decision we came to that the best thing to do with these cars was to dismantle them entirely, i.e. scrap them, the bodies to be disposed of for the best price you can obtain with the exception of one which I agreed could be given to Mr.E.R.Hall for his Bentley if he would like to have it, so long as we did not become involved in costs of mounting. This decision is based on the fact that, if we want to revive this type of car in a year or so, Peregrine would in any case be out of date and we should have to start again. Sg.{Arthur F.
