Buick Car. Replying to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.26.11.34. We propose to return this car to London on Friday next, the 30th inst. We should like the car to go to Messrs. Lendrum & Hartman before you try it, because the slow running is not as good as other cars of this type that we have tried, nor does the carburation appear to be entirely satisfactory. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} having drive the car would be able to point out its defects to them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
