With reference to the above - Madrid memo RV5/JMA/10.11.25. and your Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}25/EM16.11.25. Mr. Correa Junr. came to the Works yesterday, bringing his father's car, accompanied by the chauffeur + agent. We had considerable conversation with him, particularly in regard to the overheating complaint, and the car is now in the hands of the Repair Dept. for various work to be # carried out. We understand that Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} will advise the Works Technical Officials of what has already been done on this car to minimise the trouble of over-heating, and outline what further work he proposes to do in this direction, so that they can state whether it is possible to do anything further. Mr. Correa Junr. confirms what has already been said in the correspondence, namely, that his father is definitely against the fitting of a louvred bonnet. Will Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} please note that Mr. Correa particularly asked that he should be advised approximately how long the car will be in our possession, and the approximate cost of the chargeable work. Mr Allen has address of agent & also the son. they hope to get this information today. [Reversed Stamp: MATCHCOXLEY EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} MAM] | ||
