| X5840 R S/W {Sales / Derby Works} (Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) CWB5/LH {Mr Haworth} 17.9.25. 9-G-III. You will by now have received this car back at Derby. I hope you will find everything O.K. I was immensely pleased with its general behaviour and its running in France, despite certain minor faults, of which I am making a full report - the points of which will no doubt be discussed. I have an idea that the slipper fly wheel has seized up in the last 150 miles. I enclose herewith one of the keys which belong to the car. All the papers I have returned to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's Department. CWB. ENCL. | ||
